Description
Welcome to Under the Lid - a podcast where we discuss skill-development, mental skills, performance and coaching.
This episode is the first we've published in a while and the first with our new host Charlie Burke. In it, we discuss what we think it takes to be an elite athlete from what we've seen in our experiences as cricketers and now coaches.
We touch on a number of things including:
How the best players talk about the game in minute detail
How elite athletes know their game & know their craft incredibly well and how that comes through learning and asking the right questions
How young athletes are often fearful of learning and making mistakes. Sometimes you have to go one step backwards to go two steps forward.
How players need to work things out for themselves and ‘own your own development’
How elite athletes don’t judge themselves as a person and are never too high or too low depending on their results.
We hope you enjoy and get some value from this conversation between 3 mates.
