Stop leaving your best batting in the nets.
If your technique produces runs in practice but not in matches, the technique isn't the problem. What changes when you walk out to the middle is which part of your mind is holding the bat. The Batting Mind trains the part of batting nobody coaches: the 30 seconds between balls, the first 15 balls of an innings, and the split-second decisions that end innings.
What's inside
- The Dismissal Audit — find your pattern in Week 1 and get routed to your personalised track
- Fight, Flight or Freeze framework — the only batting psychology resource that maps all four common dismissals (caught, run out, LBW, bowled) to their root cause
- Track A — The Slow Starter: win the first 15 balls and the innings wins itself
- Track B — The Decision-Maker: traffic-light shot selection, the YES/NO/WAIT calling law, and the full Freeze module for LBW and bowled patterns
- The Between-Ball Routine — a three-step reset built for pressure, rehearsed until it runs itself
- Glitch Hunt — find the false beliefs the Instinct swings at and replace them with trained responses
- The Session Guide — seven weeks of pressure-training sessions with solo versions for players who train alone
- Match-Day Protocol — pre-match plan, mid-innings emergency reset, and the 24-hour review rule
- Season Log — tracks decisions and routine adherence, not just runs
