2. THE COMPLETE PLAYER
At the Pro Performance Academy we take a holistic approach and aim to develop our players technically, tactically, psychologically, physically and personally. We work closely with our players to have clearly defined goals on specific measurable aspects of their game that we track the progress of throughout the program.
3. PRO VIDEO ANALYSIS
We will use video analysis at the start of the program, during and towards the end of the program to track improvements, provide visual feedback and improve development.
1. COACH : PLAYER RATIO
The Pro Performance Cricket Academy works on a coach : player ratio of 1 coach : 2-3 players (including 1 ex or current first class players / level 3 coach). What a great opportunity to access 3 quality coaches all focused on the individual player each week for the duration of the program.
4. WORLD CLASS PHYSIOTHERAPY
We are excited to have formed a partnership with Stuart McKay founder and head physiotherapist at Total Physiotherapy. Based at 228c Clovelly Road, Coogee our Academy members have access to one of the leading Physiotherapists in the Eastern Suburbs at a subsidised rate. Our Canberra players will have access to our preferred Physiotherapy supplier in the region.
5. SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY
We have been lucky to secure the services of renowned Sports Psychologist Alan Mantle. Alan has a wealth of experience and has worked with professional sporting organisations and players including the Canterbury Bulldogs NRL club, Cricket NSW , Cricket Tasmania. Mental skill training is an under utilised skill that is a great asset for anyone wanting to reach their potential in any endeavour in life. Alan specifically focuses on improving focus and concentration, self confidence, positive self talk, positive routines, mental imagery and goal setting.
6. STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
The professional cricket players in the modern game are athletes and any young player wanting to reach their potential will need to be in top physical condition. At the Pro Performance Academy our players undertake age specific strength and conditioning testing and are provided with specific programs and support to help them be in the peak physical condition to perform at their best on and off the field.
7. ONLINE COACHING VIDEOS & CONTENT
To compliment our program our Pro Academy players will have access to all our online resources and content including our coaching modules on our YouTube channel.
SUMMARY
In my experience as a professional player, a former member of the Australian Cricket Academy and now a level 3 coach I want to provide the next generation of players access and exposure to everything I have learnt in my professional career along with all the latest and up to date Cricket Australia coaching information and philosophies. I aim to give the players a taste of what it’s like to train and prepare like a professional player and have high quality current from former first class players, coaches and mentors to assist them in the process. Add to this our supporting online coaching videos and content and I know we are providing a first class program that I wish I could have accessed at an earlier stage in my career. Essentially we are all about the players and we love nothing more than helping our crew grow and develop in all areas and hopefully reach their potential.
