My coaching approach goes beyond the field, focusing on a decade of patience, consistent parental support, and building a mentally tough athlete. ## Photos and videos - [Video: In this video, I directly address parents about the importance of patience. I explain my "10-Year Rule" based on my experience coaching players to the Ranji Trophy and international levels. Your support is the cornerstone of this long journey.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ef195d31-7bda-4f01-9442-c0e58822002f) - [Video: A player should never be afraid to come home after a bad match. I discuss how a consistent and positive atmosphere at home, regardless of performance, builds mental toughness. I use my student Ayush Mhatre as a prime example of how this parental support translates to on-field success.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7a785150-2e45-4000-a5fb-cedf7e8137d5) ## About My Coaching Philosophy When your child gets out for a duck or bowls a bad spell, your reaction at home matters more than the coach's feedback on the field. I teach parents to create a 'Zero-Pressure' zone—whether your child scores 100 or 0, the conversation at home must stay consistent. This stability is the only way to build true mental resilience in young athletes. ### The 10-Year Rule I have seen many kids with talent, but very few reach the elite level (Ranji Trophy or IPL) without this: a decade of consistent effort. If your child starts at 10, do not chase short-term age-group trophies. The journey takes 10 years. We focus on long-term athlete development. If you keep looking for overnight results, you will only end up frustrated, and that pressure eventually kills the child's love for the game. ### The 'Zero-Pressure' Home Environment The real game starts at home. I often use the example of Ayush Mhatre to explain this. Talented, yes, but his support system keeps him steady. When a player knows that a bad match won't change the mood at the dinner table, they play with freedom. Parents, your job is not to be a technical coach, but to be a steady rock. ### Sports Psychology for Parents Cricket is a mental game. Parents often don't realize how much they influence a child's anxiety. We partner with Ms. Mugdha Bavare, who has 25+ years of experience working with elite athletes, to run practical workshops. These sessions are not lectures. We talk about: * How to manage performance anxiety. * How to have the right conversations after a tough loss. * Practical ways to audit your home environment. All our parents get access to these because I believe a parent’s support is as crucial as any net session. If you are ready to commit to this journey properly, let's talk about a roadmap. ## About Prashant Shetty I’m Prashant Shetty. Having played Ranji Trophy and coached talents like Prithvi Shaw and Jemimah Rodrigues, I’ve seen that the best players aren’t just made in the nets—they’re made by the support systems at home. My clinic isn’t about quick fixes, but about building a long-term foundation for your child.
