About Holistic Athlete Development Program

What Drives Us

Champions aren’t born, they’re made - that’s my approach. Facilities are helpful, but I’ve seen attitude and discipline matter more. Our Holistic Athlete Development Program is built on that. If you have vijigishu vrutti (the fighting spirit), you’re in the right place. Talent is just the start - it’s the daily grind that shapes a cricketer.

The Real Grind

Cricket is played with the body, but real skill starts from your feet. We focus on speed, strength, and stamina as the basics for any athlete. You’ll sweat, drill, repeat, and hear us yell, “Step uthao jara, speed badhao abhi!” (Lift your steps, pick up the pace!). Our off-season and on-field sessions are tough. Strength training happens indoors with deadlifts and agility work, always guided by our coaches. Fitness comes first - far aavashyak (very important) - so every session starts with a proper warm-up and ends with a cool-down.

Mind and Body Together

Physical power isn’t enough. We work hard on mental toughness drills and focus. Power Yoga for cricketers is a key part of our training, especially for U-19 and U-23 squads. Not just for flexibility - it’s about boosting stamina and focus. One session, our boys did 108 Suryanamaskars in 25 minutes. That’s what I call commitment, on and off the pitch.

Character Matters

Discipline goes beyond the game. I make sure my players learn responsibility - even small things like managing equipment. We talk a lot about focus and staying away from distractions (yes, that means less phone time). Building character is as important as building a cricket career.

Parents: Part of the Team

Parents are crucial. I meet with them every season to set goals and discuss how they can help from home. It’s a joint effort to keep young athletes on track and motivated.
