Ep 16 - Why Low Scores Keep Happening
The Century Club (https://thecenturyclub.com.au) 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.

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

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 5 - England's Biggest Problem Was Never Bazball...
England's Cricket Test team is now looking for a new Coach and Captain. The conversation has shifted to who comes next. But I believe everyone's asking the wrong question. Most people are talking about coaching, selection and tactics. I think England's biggest challenge has always been something much deeper. Identity. In this video podcast I explain why Bazball wasn't really about attacking cricket, why it worked so quickly and what every club cricketer can learn from England's rise and decline. If you've ever felt like you become a completely different batsman under pressure, this episode is for you. Because pressure doesn't expose your technique. It exposesyour identity. If the podcast resonates with you and you'd like to explore your own batting mindset further, I've also recently launched The Century Club's FREE 24/7 Batting Mindset Coach (https://thecenturyclub.com.au/mindset-coach). It's been trained on The Century Within, our coaching methodology and the Captain, Player & Gatekeeper Framework.
