I open the batting in 45 over games for a club side
I tend not to set outcome goals as opposition performance, weather, pitch etc can play a factor in the amount of runs i score and to fail to reach a goal by external control can lead to feeling out of control which has a negative impact on performance
My goals
Improve self confidence by adhering to weight training reigeime and the use of self talk when batting
This will help to:
-reduce throwing my wicket away
-if there is a period where i am tied down i will do my upmost not to succumb to the pressure of opposition/teamates waiting to bat
-stay positive
Playing spin-big problem last year
-Focus training sessions on playing spin
-look at my scoring options-usually get out when i have been tied down and play a stupid shot
-develop a game plan for spin i.e.45 over game look to nurdle if field is out till 30 overs(if field is out)
field in look to use my feet hit over the top
-work on sweep shot-when to play it-slog or paddle etc it is a shot i am good at but i don't practise it much
-i can use this training a part of my self talk when batting for example 'i am trained and ready' 'i am good' 'i am legend'

Good luck James. If you sweep well then a very simple plan to play spin is to sweep and drive and block or work what's in-between. Spinners don't like being swept in my opinion, so they always try and pitch it up which then provides driving opportunities. Obviously this works for a normal wicket and you need to have a different one for turning wickets and bouncy wickets where these shots are risky but still, it's a start!
Hope it goes well.

Currently up and down order in 2nd team, scored most of my runs at number 3. Would like a consistent season at top of the order if the captain will give me a good run. And then look at pushing to open or go number 3 in first team. Only opened 5 times in seconds last year and didnt really get any runs, got 250 from 7 innings opening year before! Had a good season in 20 overs games my scores were 22, 49, 35*, 27, 32, 25 so would like to go on and get some bigger scores next season.
We have a spare opening place and number 3 spot in first team so would love to nail down one of those spots. People say i am good enough to do it but 2nd team captain reckons i just need a bit more confidence in my own abilities.

MY GOALS FOR THE 09/10 SEASON
OUTCOME: Be in the top 10 in REP batting rankings and bowling rankings
PERFORMANCE: In the 14 club games score 3 tons in club and 3 half centuries, also take 3 five fers and 5 three fers. In the five REP matches score over 30 every game and 2 half centuries. Get a bag of 5 wickets in game and 2 three fers.
PROCESS: Grind it out and bat a long time, play straight, watch ball and be relaxed. Bowl consistent lengths (off stump), look past the batsmen and bang the ball in.
HOW/WHAT: Follow yearly training program, eat well, 8 hours min of sleep, coffee before training/games, recovery, back myself for anything I do, and never give in.
