Teesra Talks — occasional thoughts on cricket coaching
By Andrew
I qualified as a cricket coach in 2009, but really started to coach seriously in 2014, working mostly with children (primary school age, and younger).
My blog, theteesra.com, is a strong reflective discipline to maintain, but it can take time to pull together a post...4 years (and counting) in one extreme case.
I tweet @theteesra, but the format doesn’t really encourage reflection.
So, Teesra Talks will be more like an audio diary, where I can reflect on coaching issues more spontaneously than in a blog post, but in a little more depth than on Twitter.
Please, do join the conversation.

Activator Tutor training; new models, new ways of coaching
A trip to Loughborough for All Stars & Dynamos Cricket Activator tutor training.
New models of child behaviour from Create Development; possible application in my own coaching.
N.B. Sound quality and levels on this episode are not great, so I’ll try to re-record, when I get the chance. For now, you might need to turn up the volume and listen in a quiet room...
