In my study of counselling Carl Rogers dominates. His person centered theory forms the basis of much learning in this area. It is three key components of this that have allowed me to develop a coaching philosophy I feel comfortable with.
Cricket Coach Plus is a new generation performance development tool - a powerful video coaching app enabling cricket coaches to provide beginner to elite players with immediate visual feedback during training sessions and competition.
Compare - Performance improves when we are able to observe and compare. Players observe the finer points of their cricket technique then compare with the technique demonstrated in other video clips using the side by side and overlay video display features.
Improve - Being able to observe a technical issue which becomes clear once a player's own clip is played alongside a reference clip or being able to observe the 'before and after' clips for a player who is applying a change their coach has recommended provides the visual evidence and motivation needed for sustainable change and improvement.
Cricket Coach Plus is designed for the coach, teacher, parent and player to assist in technique development and requires the video record feature of 3GS/4 iPhones and iOS 4.0 or higher.
Last year, I coached the only American high school cricket team outside of New York City. It was created by a group of American kids who, without ever having played a hardball game, had already fallen in love with the sport. How did this come to pass? Well, it all started in Virginia, in April of 2008.
As a U.S. History teacher at the Cardinal Gibbons School in Baltimore, I often led field trips to the many historic sites in the area, and that April, I led a group of students on a two-day visit to Civil War sites in Richmond. Our first stop was the American Civil War Center at the site of the Tredegar Iron Works. After watching a cannon-firing demonstration, a smallish man in period clothing called out to our group, asking if we would like to play cricket. We agreed to have a look at the game, and from that point on, my life has had an added dimension.
In this modified version, a rubber ball was pitched underhanded, but otherwise, the basic rules applied. Our group was soon split into two teams, and before long, we were playing the centuries-old game of cricket.
Once the cricket gear came in, I took the boys to an open part of the athletic field and set up the wickets. From that point on, the game took care of the rest. The students organized themselves into teams and taught themselves the game; I mainly watched, acted as occasional umpire and collected up the gear when they were done. Soon, after-school cricket had a fairly large following at Cardinal Gibbons.
Every day after school, there would be a dozen or so students in my classroom, nagging me to quit working and start cricket. My history classes also became diverted by students trying to move the subject to cricket, rather than schoolwork. On rainy days, we watched the Indian Premier League on my laptop, and discussed rules, players and nations. By the month of May, there were over 50 cricket players, and they wanted something more organized. We sold polos, collected money for more equipment and uniforms, and made plans to divide the boys into four teams for a fall league.
These teams then played a ten-week intramural cricket season, on a real cricket mat, starting in August when we reconvened at school. Members of the Baltimore Cricket Club, led by Gregory Alleyne, volunteered to help teach the boys the game, which was the first time that any of them had any real coaching. It went incredibly well, and the league was even featured in a story in the Baltimore Sun.
Not long after, Keith visited us at practice, accompanied by Gladstone Dainty, President of the United States of America Cricket Association, which is the governing body of American cricket. Dainty watched us practice for a time, and then got involved personally, helping the guys with their technique. He really seemed to be enjoying himself. After practice, he spoke to the team, telling us how important it was for cricket to spread to kids like themselves, who had no cricketing background.
Even though we were only playing 20 over matches, we lost bad in our early matches, usually by over 100 runs. But we accepted our fate, since we were playing against experienced cricketers from cricket-playing countries. In June, we became more international, being joined by Jayson Delsing, a player from South Africa, and Quincey Samuels, from Jamaica. Later two brothers of Indian descent from Philadelphia showed up at our match, asking to play. Having added our own experienced cricketers, the gap closed considerably.
By August, the cricket season was over and it was clear that my efforts to start a cricket academy had failed. I returned the few thousand dollars that had already been donated by cricketers, and called the investors to let them know. On a sad day in August, I returned to Cardinal Gibbons one last time to collect my personal belongings and return my key to the barn shed where the cricket equipment was stored, leaving the school to its fate.
No game is perfect. It is easy to spot potential flaws in any drill. Most coaching resources focus on the activity, but the key is not WHAT is done, but HOW it is applied. This is why I have attempted to go beyond the description of these games, and add some of the different inputs.
When we coach groups, there will always be a range of personalities, motives and levels of confidence. If a child reacts adversely to one style, or refuses to fully engage in an activity, why might this be?
A 501c3 organization was founded in 2015 to give an opportunity to growing immigrant community, especially the South-Asian and Caribbean communities to play their favorite sport and excel, originally it started with 6 hardball teams and by 2022 summer the participation grew to 26 teams with both hardball and softball teams in the league. With the inception of CDCA, they have promoted the game to each corner of the capital region. Local Schools, Colleges, Churches, Social Welfare organizations such as Elks Lodge and YMCA, as well as State, City, Town, Village governments and elected officials, everyone is engaged in the game of cricket in the region. The annual Mayor Cup cricket tournament conducted in Albany at Lincoln Park has become a big media item to promote the game.
The Cricket Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization dedicated to cost-sharing development of and meaningful support for our heroes (Honorees and Inductees) who have contributed to the game of cricket over the years, from maintaining the grounds to advancing trusted community engagement, and who in the true spirit of the game have been also engaged in quality of live development activities that their local urban or rural communities view as important and sustainable.

South Africa recently announced the appointment of the new two national cricket team coaches, splitting roles in the longer and shorter versions of the sport. Once again, an indigenous South African has been overlooked for the post as caretaker coach Malibongwe Maketa, who was one of the candidates, failed to make the cut.
