Teesra Talks — occasional thoughts on cricket coaching

I qualified as a cricket coach in 2009, but really started to coach seriously in 2014, working mostly with children (primary school age, and younger). My blog, theteesra.com, is a strong reflective discipline to maintain, but it can take time to pull together a post...4 years (and counting) in one extreme case. I tweet @theteesra, but the format doesn’t really encourage reflection. So, Teesra Talks will be more like an audio diary, where I can reflect on coaching issues more spontaneously than in a blog post, but in a little more depth than on Twitter. Please, do join the conversation.

Play-Review-Play-Review... and Repeat — a review

I wrote about an alternative session structure on theteesra.com a couple of weeks ago. https://theteesra.com/2018/11/06/new-close-season-new-session-format-play-review-play-review-repeat/. After running the plan for a few weeks, I thought it might be useful to review how it might be improved. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theteesra/message
