Cricket Matters | Expert Cricket Coaching, Mindset & Performance Tips

In this episode, Josh and James explore the costs involved in hiring a cricket coach. They dive into factors that affect pricing, regional differences, and the emerging trend of hybrid and online coaching. If you're curious about how much you should budget for cricket coaching and what services are included, this episode has you covered.

You'll Learn:

• Coaching costs vary depending on factors like location, experience, and the type of coaching (in-person or online). In the UK, for instance, one-on-one coaching ranges from £30 to £150 per session, while online programs can cost between £25 to £350 per month.
• The concept of hybrid coaching, where clients combine face-to-face sessions with online accountability and support. This method helps athletes work on their game outside of the traditional one-on-one setting.
• The cost of cricket coaching can drastically differ by country, with Australia averaging $200–$300 per session and South Africa being much cheaper due to currency differences. Regional factors significantly impact coaching rates.
• Aside from coaching fees, athletes might incur additional costs for venue rentals, transport, or purchasing equipment. Planning for these expenses is essential to accurately budgeting for long-term coaching.

Key Takeaways:

• The cost of a cricket coach varies greatly based on location and the coach's credentials, with higher-end international coaches charging more for one-on-one sessions.
• A combination of in-person and online coaching allows for greater flexibility and consistent progress between sessions, moving away from the limitations of traditional one-on-one coaching.
• It's important to factor in additional expenses like venue hire, transportation, and equipment when budgeting for coaching, as these can add up over time.
• Rather than focusing solely on one-off sessions, investing in a 12-week plan or even longer provides better results and accountability, ensuring continuous improvement.
• Although online cricket coaching is still relatively new, it offers a cost-effective alternative to in-person sessions and can be highly beneficial, especially when combined with physical training.

Quotes:
“You don’t just work with me for an hour and then not hear from me for a week – we hold you accountable between sessions.”
“People need to start thinking beyond one-to-one sessions and focus on a 12-week plan for long-term improvement."
“Cricket coaching isn't just about what happens in the session. It's about what you do in between to improve your game.”
