## About Cricket Coaching

### Sach Ka Saamna: No False Promises

Main seedha bolta hoon - I don't sell fairy tales. In cricket coaching, honesty comes first. Genetics play a big part, especially if you dream of being a top fast bowler. I'm not here to promise you'll bowl at 150 kph, but I will help you find your real strengths and push those.

### Skill Over Speed, Always

You can try to bowl fast, but agar 'tappa' hi nahi hai toh kya fayda? (If you can't land the ball right, what's the use?) I focus on skill-based cricket training - mastering basics, hitting line and length, and understanding the game. We use a speed gun for feedback, but chasing numbers isn't the goal.

### Holistic Training Approach

We build cricketers, not just players.
- Batting: Foundation first (head position, backfoot play), then level up risky shots with cricket match simulations so you perform under pressure.
- Bowling: The main thing is 'tappa', not just speed. We work on fast bowling biomechanics to keep you safe and effective.
- Fielding: Mandatory. Drills for high catches, agility, and ground work. Fielding is a game changer.
- Fitness & Mind: Daily speed and agility drills, strength workouts, plus meditation to keep focus sharp.

### Parents: Support, Don’t Coach

Your job is support. Let us handle the cricket stuff. Please make sure your child’s gear fits - wrong size bat or pads can mess up technique early.

### Real Results, Real Exposure

Players from here have gone to Ranji Trophy, Delhi U-23, and even IPL auctions. Trainees get direct professional cricket exposure with pros like Nitish Rana and Jonty Sidhu. Real learning, no shortcuts.

## Meet your expert

[Ravi Chhikara](https://mytribe.in/rvsportsperformance)

### My story

Dekho yaar, main khud khela hoon, Ranji Trophy tak. Bachpan se ek hi cheez samjhi - paisa nahi, player khelta hai. Bohot kuch dekha, jhooth bhi, struggles bhi. Isliye aaj sach bolne aaya hoon. Main negative nahi, bas realist hoon. Zindagi aur cricket, dono unpredictable hain. Mera mission simple hai - powerful humans banana, jo girne ke baad khud uth sake. Kalla hi kaafi hoon, system se ladne ko.

### My work

- **Strength & Conditioning, Cricket Coaching, Fitness Training**: Main powerful, thinking athletes banata hoon. Yeh robots wala kaam nahi hai. Personalized cricket coaching is my thing.
- **No 'Copy-Paste' Workouts**: Instagram se uthakar workout nahi milta. Har athlete ki need alag hoti hai, training specific hoti hai. Injury prevention for athletes is key.
- **Skills over Speed**: Main sapne nahi bechta. Fast bowling skill development, game awareness, line-length, tappa - yeh asli cheezein hain.
- **Train Smart, Not Just Long**: Ghanto practice nahi, quality aur intensity pe focus. Improvement pe kaam, thakaan pe nahi.
- **Mind is Everything**: Mental conditioning for cricketers - pressure handle karna, positive rehna, game samajhna. Body jitna mind bhi zaruri hai.
