THE PROBLEM WITH GENERIC GROUP COACHING
THE GROUP GETS COACHED.
THE INDIVIDUAL CAN GET MISSED.
Fast bowlers develop different. Different bodies. Different actions. Different strengths. Different limiting factors.
The Middlesex Schools Fast Bowling Excellence Programme brings an individual development philosophy into a structured London winter programme.
01.
DIFFERENT BODIES
Physical qualities and robustness vary
02.
DIFFERENT ACTIONS
The same cue will not fit every bowler
03.
DIFFERENT LIMITERS
The priority must match the athlete.
04
DIFFERENT CONTEXTS
Development must transfer to cricket
