How to mentally prepare for an innings

How to mentally prepare for an innings.

Too many batsman make the mistake of trying to be perfectly ready to bat.

This leads to panic and fear in the batsman.

See, many batsman doubt themselves and believe if they do the perfect routine before they go out to bat they will score runs.

They attach to their routine and think they have to do it to bat well.

But the truth is although this works for some it does not work for others.

A famous psychological theory knows as the ‘Type A behavioural pattern theory’ Staes that there are two types of personality A and B.

Type A personalities seem to be more on edge, ambitious and prone to nerves.

Type B personalities are more laid back, relaxed and prone to laziness.

Once you understand this and who you are your batting will change.

I believe a Type B made need a more strict routine to increase their focus before going out to bat.

However, a type A made need to chill, relax and not worry so much.

But this is the truth.

As a young player I was desperate to find the perfect pre innings routine and would copy everyone.

But the truth is, you need to find what works for you and stick to it.

For some, that’s worrying less and having jokes before going out, for others thats getting in the contest and looking to pick a challenge.

Experiment for what works for you.
