Who Are Cricket Mentoring?

We are Perth-based cricket coaches and mentors that help individuals (cricketers, coaches, and parents) and groups (clubs, schools and academies) around the world develop themselves in all of ‘The 6 Pillars of Success’.

With nearly half a million followers across our social media channels, we’ve become the world’s leading cricket coaching and mentoring brand through our deep knowledge of the game and the mental skills athletes require to perform at their best consistently.

As mentors, we are on a never ending journey to grow and aim to be excellent role models for our students/athletes. We are driven to always learn and increase our knowledge and then strive to pass on everything we know so our athletes can improve their skills & mindset and ultimately live their best life.

Our mentors have played at an elite level, and understand the game well and what’s required to be successful but most importantly we love the game and are passionate about others learn and develop themselves on and off the field.

Our Mission

Our Athletes

Since launching Cricket Mentoring (CM) in August 2016, we’ve become the global leader in coaching and mentoring committed cricketers and coaches around the world.

In this time, we’ve worked with International stars such as Josh Philippe (AUS), Darcy Short (AUS), Tom Banton (ENG), SAm Robson (ENG), Shan Masood (PAK) & Taniya Bhatia (IND).

Scolls is also currently coaching and mentoring many professionals and future stars including Jon Wells (Adelaide Strikers), Jake Weatherald (South Australia), Sam Fanning (Western Australia), Georgia Wyllie (WA), Molly Healy (WA) & Teague Wyllie (WA), who recently starred for the Australian under 19 team at the ICC under 19 World Cup and was selected as an opening batter in the Team of the Tournament.

Our social following of almost half a million, has been built on the back of our focus on the mental and emotional skills needed for any athlete to consistently perform at their best.

Regardless of the sport, I believe the most successful athletes are:

  • Always striving to improve (their skills and themselves)
  • Able to perform close to their best more consistently than those less successful (who are inconsistent)

At Cricket Mentoring, we aim to help athletes improve from week to week while also giving them the tools & know-how to understand how to perform at their best when it counts (under ‘pressure’ and in big games).

We do this by focusing on developing the athletes we work with in all of the 6 Pillars of Success.

The 6 Pillars Of Success

At Cricket Mentoring, we believe that to be successful, athletes & coaches must be working on themselves in these 6 key areas:

This International Academy will develop you in all 6 Pillars of Success

As our mission states, we aim to help people develop their game on the field so they can perform at their best more consistently but it’s more important to us that we are also helping develop good people. While this International Academy will spend a lot of time on the technical and tactical Pillars of Success which is specific to cricket, it will also focus on the other 4 Pillars of Success which are life skills and can be used anywhere a person goes.

Technical

Your technique is the foundation of your game. You need to develop a method that allows you to execute your shots consistently.

  • Has the ability to score off the front and back foot
