About this listen

In this first episode of The Cricket Mind Podcast, Nathan Wood and Briony Brock introduce the podcast and explore why cricket is such a uniquely mental game.

They discuss why an obsession with technique can sometimes hold players back, how mindset influences performance at every level, and what the recent Ashes series revealed about preparation, adaptability, and pressure.

Topics covered include:

• Why cricket places unique psychological demands on players

• Technique obsession vs performance mindset

• The pressures facing young cricketers in modern systems

• Confidence, resilience, and independent thinking

• Self-talk, visualisation, and common mental mistakes

• Lessons from the Ashes — adaptability, leadership, and preparation

This podcast is for cricketers, parents, and coaches who want to understand performance beyond technique alone.
