Change Your Cricket Team for the Better Without Trying too Hard
Winning is important for every team. It's also not the only thing, and that's a problem.
For sides who fall somewhere below the professional level, other factors can easily take over and define you far more than the quest for victory: Jobs, family, escapism from the daily grind and so on.
These factors are real and unavoidable, but they don't have to command the side. With some simple, almost zen-like, changes to your approach, you can account for everything and still become a more professional-acting club team.
Here are some practical tip for calmly becoming more focused on winning without being ridiculed for "taking it too seriously".

Coach and PitchVision Academy Columnist Sam Lavery looks at the power of words to help cricketers grow.
Can the way you speak turn players into positive "doers"?
Attention to detail in the language we use as coaches is important as we strive for perfection. Not only is what we deliver vital, but also, how we choose to deliver it.
Simply, language will help cricketers achieve what you - and they - would like.
Here's a simple example.
