The mental side of cricket is an increasingly important area of development, particularly for young players navigating the demands of the game.

Martin Fairn has worked extensively on the mental skills of players across the pathway and brings experience from a range of different sports. Currently working with Worcestershire and with footballers in the Lionesses setup, he has a broad perspective on athlete development.

He joins the podcast to discuss how young players can build a strong mindset, and what coaches can do to support and develop players’ mental skills from an early age.
