In cricket, technique is important, but if your mind isn’t tough, big moments slip away. I keep saying, jo bhi aap karte ho, plan hona chahiye (whatever you do, you need a plan). That’s the core of what I do. ### Training That Builds Champions Mental conditioning is baked into every training session - not just random lectures. You’ll shift from thinking about just scoring runs to how you actually win matches. I’ll push you to move past your comfort zone, set higher goals, and keep your focus sharp. - Match pressure handling: Our net sessions get intense, never boring. One-over challenges put you in real match situations, so you learn to make decisions under stress. - Game simulation drills: Bowler gets six balls, batter has to survive. It’s all about the mental battle. - Overcoming anxiety: If you’re overthinking or your run-up is off, I’ll help you simplify things with small mental cues. ### Building a Positive Mindset I ask every player to keep a positive diary, from juniors to international level. Write down daily learnings and wins, don’t dwell on mistakes. This habit builds mental toughness in athletes, making you strong when things get tough. ### Parents Are Key Success is a 10-year partnership. I work with parents too - closed workshops with top sports psychologists help you support your child, without adding pressure. Whether your kid hits a century or gets out for zero, your support should never change. ### Small Things Win Matches Chote-chote cheez hi match jitaate hain (the small things win matches). Learn to use wind direction, bowl lengths, and patience as psychological weapons. Sometimes, a batsman is just lucky - hum Marathi me bolte hain, 'asa batsman la sodun dya' (leave that batsman alone). Stick to the process, trust your plan. This isn’t just about cricket. It’s about building resilience that lasts a lifetime. ## Highlights Browse through Prashant Shetty's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/kkalpavrikshacricketclinic/mental-conditioning-sports-psychology/featured) - [Video: A testimonial from Sashit Upadhyay, who traveled from Northern Ireland to train with me.
