You've done the visualisation. You've tried the breathing exercises. You've heard 'back yourself' more times than you can count. None of it held when the ball was in the air and the game was on the line. That's not a you problem. Those tools were never built for cricket.
After doing the course. She looked like herself again at the crease. The fear was gone. Not suppressed. Scored two consecutive centuries against adult opposition in Premier Cricket.
You're 34 off 60. Spinner outside off. Two slips in. Game's right there.
You know what the right shot is. And still - you either go at one you shouldn't. Or sit on one you should've put away.
Or you're at the top of your mark. You've just gone for 12. Batter's set. Captain's watching. Tell me what "back yourself" means here. No one knows. That's the problem.
If you had a skill issue - it wouldn't look the way it does in the nets.
What you have is a moment problem. A half-second shift that changes the decision before the ball is even released. And once that happens - you're not playing your game anymore. You're managing damage.
Not fitness. Not technique.
A mental problem. This solves it once and for all.
Works at 9pm. Not when you've just nicked one and you're about to face the next ball.
Slows you down for a second. Sometimes that's enough. But it doesn't change the thought that just showed up for the second time in two balls.
Sounds right. Until you actually need to know what to do next ball. No one can tell you. That's the gap.
If the voice in your head is already asking "am I good enough?" - telling it something different doesn't work. You can't talk your way out of a belief with words. You need to remove the question entirely.
Most mental skills work in cricket has one problem: it works when there's no consequence. It disappears the moment there is. That's not a you problem. Those tools were never built for cricket.
This isn't confidence. This isn't mindset.
This is: not knowing what to do in the exact moment the game turns.
And until that's solved - you'll keep getting the same result. No matter how well you train.
Every framework is designed for what actually happens between deliveries, mid-innings and mid-spell. Not borrowed from a boardroom or a different sport.
Every player has a pressure pattern. We map yours precisely - so you can read it coming before it costs you runs at the crease or wickets at the top of your mark.
The seven minutes before you cross the rope. The drinks break. The moment after a wicket falls. Every break in play is a window - and most players waste it. This makes those windows repeatable.
The full delivery you don't drive. The slower ball you hold back on. These aren't technical errors. They're fear playing out in your shot selection and bowling plans. We name them and pull them apart.
A nick behind. A full toss carted for six. Every one carries weight into the ball that follows. The Trigger Tracker gives you a personal reset in the dead ball window - so the next delivery has nothing to do with the last one.
Brings weeks one through four into one repeatable performance system - 24 hours before the game, during it and after. So the next time you walk out in a final, your mind is already there.
Everything converts directly to runs and wickets. Net sessions structured to mirror the exact mental demands of a real game. The gap between training and game day closes here.
The 7-Minute Flow Method changed how I prepare. I used to just pad up and hope. Now I have a process.
I was dropped from the squad. Went through the full course. Came back with different wiring. The way I process a bad ball, a bad session, a bad month is so different.
The Trigger Tracker is something I use every single game - it is not optional anymore.
I had a half-second switch-off between deliveries that I did not even know about. We found it in week one of the course. By week four it was gone.
One is for your next match. One is for the rest of your career. Both start today.
For finding focus and flow between innings, after a drinks break, or any break in play when your mind needs to reset.

I work with cricketers who are good enough. Who have always been good enough. And who cannot figure out why that stops mattering the moment it counts.
My background is in performance psychology and identity-based coaching. I've worked with Pro, Semi-Pro, Rookie, Premier and pathway players through trials, selection pressure, injury, and the hard yards of pushing into higher representative cricket.
Players inside Project 228™ have trained this mental framework for 7+ years. Many are now playing state, franchise and international cricket. They use the same framework built inside Project 228™.
Most mental skills work in cricket is borrowed from other sports and repackaged. It sounds right. It doesn't hold when a spinner is bowling into footmarks in the 35th over and you need to score.
So I built cricket-specific frameworks from scratch. The Pressure Signature™ maps how your mind behaves specifically at the crease or at the top of your mark. The Trigger Tracker™ is built around the dead ball window between deliveries that exists in no other sport.
Every cricketer I've worked with carried the same question underneath everything. Am I good enough? It shows up in the shot you didn't play. The line you abandoned mid-over. The over you survived instead of owned. Until that question is gone, you will not unlock your potential. Removing it is the work. That's where I work.
