    Ep 17 - Talent Does Not Equal Big Scores

    Ep 16 - Why Low Scores Keep Happening

    The Century Club Most batsmen don’t struggle because of bad technique. They struggle because the same mental patterns keep showing up especially once they’re set, under pressure, or feeling “in”. In this podcast, I break down the top 5 challenges batsmen struggle with and explain why these patterns cap scores, even for talented players. You’ll learn:• Why getting starts is often harder than getting out early• How one small mistake can derail an entire innings• Why playing “safe” often leads to more dismissals• How situations hijack clarity• Why trust disappears when pressure shows up This isn’t about technique. It’s about what happens between deliveries. If you’ve ever walked off thinking “I should’ve made more there”, this podcast will help you understand why and what’s really going on in your mind when it matters most.

    Ep 15 - What Selectors Really Want

    FREE 24/7 Batting Mindset Coach Most players think selection comes down to stats. But the truth is - selectors don’t just pick based on runs scored. They pick belief. In this podcast, I break down the mental game that separates players who get picked from those who don’t.You’ll see how mindset - not mechanics - shapes performance under pressure and how the subconscious either fuels your form or fights it.I’ll show you how to: Build confidence before selection day. Stop overthinking every innings. Play with identity instead of auditioning for approval.Whether you’re fighting for a spot in your club side or dreaming of higher honours, this podcast will help you stop chasing validation and start playing like you belong.

    Ep14 - Why Most Cricket Goals Fail - and How to Set Ones That Actually Work

    Grab your copy of The Century Within at The Century Club If you’ve ever set cricket goals like “score a hundred,” “be more consistent,” “stay in longer” - but nothing really changed, this podcast will explain why.Most cricketers fail at goal setting not because their goals are bad, but because their beliefs don’t match. This is where mindset comes in. And more specifically, your brain’s built-in filtering system: the Reticular Activating System (RAS).In this video, I break down how the RAS affects your focus, performance and consistency and why surface-level goal setting doesn’t work unless you first rewire the beliefs underneath it. I’ll share how I went from getting stuck in the 20s and 30s to scoring 50s and hundreds — not through more net sessions, but through deeper mindset work.If you want to learn how to make goals stick and unlock real change in your cricket - this one’s for you.

    Ep 12 - Why Staying Safe Keeps You Stuck Scoring 20's and 30's

    Free 24/7 Batting Mindset Coach Most cricketers don’t get out because of a technical flaw - they get stuck in their comfort zone. You know the feeling: you’re 20 not out, start playing safe and before long you’re walking back, frustrated.In this podcast, I share how the comfort zone quietly kills your batting and how to finally break free. I’ll show you why your creative subconscious mind locks you into the identity of a “20-run player” and how to shift that identity so your game expands.I’ll also share my own story of being labelled “a fielder who could bat a bit” and how I rewired that belief when I first discovered how the mind really works. That change didn’t just transform my cricket, it reshaped my identity as a player.You’ll walk away with a 4-step plan to:1. Spot when you’re in the comfort zone2. Choose your personal “stretch zone”3. Rest and reflect after matches 4. Expand your comfort zone until scoring freely feels normal Whether you’re stuck making starts or chasing consistency, this is how to grow.

    Ep 11 - Cricket Mindset Myth Busted: Do Affirmations Really Work?

    The 24/7 Batting Mindset Coach Most cricketers have been told to use affirmations… “Just tell yourself you’re confident. Tell yourself you’re a run-scorer. Tell yourself you love pressure.”Here’s the myth: affirmations on their own don’t work. In fact, most players give up because they feel fake. That’s why I’ve made this video - to bust the myth and show you how affirmations can actually build real confidence when you understand how the mind works.In this video, I reveal:• Why affirmations often fail cricketers under pressure• The three parts of your mind (conscious, subconscious and creative subconscious) and how they shape belief• How to rewire confidence using curiosity questions, stretch affirmations and identity statements• The exact affirmation that changed my game when scoring a hundred felt impossibleYou’ll also see how players like David Warner, Pujara and Ben Stokes back up their self-talk with rock-solid identity - plus how you can apply the same system in your own cricket.
