Hit the Ground Running: JP Duminy’s Modern Techniques and Preparation [1010.201.010.001]

My name is JP Duminy.  

This is the modern technique and preparation section of my 2-course series on batting: Hit the Ground Running.

When you enrol on this online course you'll find me showing you not only the flair shots I use, but also the preparation methods we use in the international game.

It's the first time I have ever revealed my method in such detail.

The course is a combination of online videos, downloadable dossiers, worksheets, interviews, forums and drills: all produced at my home ground of Newlands in Cape Town.

I want to show you how I rose to the top so quickly, so you can copy me; and maybe even find yourself playing together with me somewhere around the world.

Every time I talk to young cricketers I find myself being asked how I approach the game, and what I do that is different to them as a player. And now - through this online coaching course - I have the opportunity to let you get that vital information.

Not just a summary: a detailed understanding of the of the things I've learnt along the way to international cricket.

I've specifically designed the structure to help you become the best batter you can be, even if you are not lucky enough to have a coach and lots of equipment. All you need to follow my practice and preparation process is this course, a buddy and some cricket balls.

So what will I teach you?

  • The foundations of good technique that work like the foundations of a solid house.
  • Why you need a trigger move and how to develop one while avoiding the pitfalls of a bad trigger.
  • How to score quickly with a range of shots.
  • A series of simple but effective drills that I use to groove my own technique.
  • The way I practiced to get to the top, and how I practice now.

Most importantly, I teach you how to teach yourself.

Everyone is different and learns in different ways. With personalised hard work and practice you will make great strides forward. I have seen it happen to myself and this course allows me to show you how I did it. In total there is:

  • 18 online videos with instant access to a DVD worth of video
  • A complete technical dossier on  my modern shots with coaching points, tactical advice, preparation tips and drills.
  • Several workbook and drill sheets for you to complete to help you put things into practice.
  • a CDs worth of audio interviews.

All you need to do is enrol in the course to get instant access to all the resources.

Chapter 1 - Foundations of Technique
You can't build a house without foundations and you can't play any shot without a reliable set up and trigger move. Because both traditional and modern technique both start with the same fundamentals - and I believe these are critical to your success as a batsman - I'm including this chapter in both my courses.
