Description
Cricket performance doesn’t stall because players need more nets or more motivation. It stalls when the system breaks down.
Hosted by Performance System Architect James Breese and Josh Kennedy, the Cricket Matters Podcast delivers the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for long-term cricket development — connecting performance, injury management, and decision-making into one governed system.
We explore why injuries repeat, why training effort fails to translate into technical output, and how unmanaged load, fatigue, and recovery derail progress across a season. Drawing on clinical biomechanics, physical capacity development, and neural economy, each episode breaks down what actually holds up under match-day pressure.
This is not a tips-and-drills show. It’s a framework for cricketers, parents, and coaches who want clarity, not noise — and a performance system that lasts.
Better Every Ball starts with a better system.
