About us
Welcome to Cricket Mentoring! We are Perth-based cricket coaches and mentors and we are dedicated to developing cricketers, coaches, and parents worldwide. Our mission is to help individuals and groups, including clubs, schools, and academies, excel in all of the ‘6 Pillars of Success.’
With nearly half a million followers on social media, we’ve become a leading cricket community through our deep knowledge of the game and insights into the mental skills required for peak performance.
As mentors, we are on a never-ending journey to grow and aim to be excellent role models for our athletes. We love the game of cricket, and we aim to help develop the same passion we have for others learning from us. We have played at the elite level, understanding the game at its crux, and understanding what it takes to be successful. We ensure that there is comprehensive growth, with adequate focus on not just technical skills and learning how to play, but also mental resilience and other aspects we don’t see at face value.
About us
A letter from our founder
Tom Scollay
G’day legend! I’m Tom Scollay, founder of Cricket Mentoring. As a young cricketer, I dreamt of playing for Australia, and in 2010, I began my professional career with Middlesex. However, three years later, I was unexpectedly released from my contract, and I realised it was my mindset, not just my skills, that held me back.
This led me to start Cricket Mentoring in 2014, with a mission to be the mentor I wish I had!
At Cricket Mentoring, we’re more than just a mentoring service; we’re a community dedicated to helping cricketers reach their full potential, both on and off the field. We believe success involves mental skills, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence alongside technical abilities. Our elite mentors share their experiences and insights to guide athletes in developing their game and character. Join our community, and let’s embark on this journey together to achieve your cricketing and personal goals.
MISSION
To develop well-rounded cricketers who excel in skill, adaptability, and sportsmanship, both on and off the field.
vISION
To be a leading force in mentoring athletes, empowering players globally through expert guidance with a focus on holistic development.
Our UNIQUE 6 PILLARS APPROACH
Our 6 pillar approach will help you upgrade your cricketing skills holistically, moulding you into a better athlete overall. Keeping all these pillars in mind will help you perform at your best consistently!
Tactical
Build an understanding of how to ‘look at the bigger picture’ or perform an objective and develop awareness of strategy.
Mental
What you think has a massive impact on how you perform. The best athletes manage their thoughts and focus through their routines and mental skills.
Emotional
Understand that how you feel impacts how you perform. The best athletes learn how to use their emotions to their advantage.
Technical
Your technique is the foundation of your game. You need to develop a method that allows you to execute your skills consistently.
Lifestyle
Develop values and behaviours that will help you both on and off the sporting arena to give you the best chance of having success.
Physical
Develop your physicality to execute the skills you want when required. The fitter you are, the better your decision-making will be for longer periods of time.
