Cricket

In order to bowl faster, throw the ball further, run quicker between the wickets, hit the ball that much further when you find that sweet spot, restrict the number of singles scored by the batting side – through disciplined athletic fielding, you need our strength and conditioning coaches to develop a cricket specific strength and conditioning training program for you. Cricket is a deceivingly demanding sport; players spend a long day on their feet, there are periodic fast sprints when batting, chasing down a ball, and bowling, plus various dynamic movements such as leaping, throwing, and turning quickly. The elements of strength, speed, flexibility, and endurance training cannot be under estimated.

Optimal Sports coaching methodology has propelled athletes to reach the top of their game. We understand the importance of structuring your training to optimise your training sessions.

How we coach cricketers?

Our fully integrated periodisation programs reinforce your strengths and address your weaknesses to boost the performance of your game.
Because throwing is such as essential component of the game we have developed target exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the throwing action.

Due to the excessive high forces propelled through the lumbar spine during the bowling action, it is essential that your core muscles are strong, stable, and firing in synchrony to provide support on impact. Core stability is the foundation for all explosive movements and control, therefore our programs place an emphasis on strengthening and stabilising the core during all movement.

Results you can expect
