How We Build Performance That Lasts.

One System. One Direction. No Guesswork.

Assess.

We start with assessment. Decisions are based on how you move, perform, and cope with demand — not assumptions, trends, or generic programmes.

Build.

We develop strength, movement, and conditioning so cricketers can train consistently, handle the demands of the game, and perform week after week.

Train.

Technical, tactical, and performance work are shaped by the physical and mental demands of real cricket — not isolated drills.

Adapt.

Training and recovery adjust as load, form, fatigue, and setbacks change — reducing breakdown and protecting performance over time.

More Than a Service. A System for Cricket Performance.

Most cricketers move between coaches, gyms, and injury support. Each may do good work — but without a shared framework, decisions fragment and progress stalls.

One System. Built for Cricket.

Cricket Matters connects coaching, physical preparation, and injury management under one framework — so training decisions hold up under real cricket demands. It isn’t a gym, a physio clinic, or an academy. It’s the structure that connects them.

How the System Works in Practice.

Here’s what that system looks like once you’re inside it.

Assess First.

Assessment identifies what’s limiting progress right now — pain, capacity, or performance. It clarifies what you can safely tolerate and what needs to change. That makes the next step clear from day one.

Build Capacity.

Physical preparation builds the capacity to train, practise, and play consistently. Strength, movement, and conditioning support the real demands cricket places on your body.

Train to Perform.

Coaching and performance work are applied in the context of the game itself. Technical and tactical development reflects how cricket is played — under fatigue, pressure, and repetition.

Adapt Over Time.

As workloads shift and seasons progress, training and recovery adapt. The goal is continuity — staying fit, progressing through setbacks, and performing across the season.

Where You Enter the System.

There are two ways in — depending on the problem you’re trying to solve. Everything else is built from there.

Sports Injury Assessment

Final Word — Don’t Ignore the Early Signs

If you’re dealing with pain, recurring injury, or returning after time out, this is where you start. We identify what’s driving symptoms and what needs to change before you train or play again.

Performance Assessment

Cricketer Performance System: Athleticism

If you’re fit but want to improve performance, consistency, or technical efficiency, start here. We assess how movement and load influence your cricket — so training and coaching are built, not guessed.

Both Pathways Feed into the Same Performance System.

What Happens After You Enter.

Once you’re in, decisions stay connected. Your assessment guides how coaching, training, and recovery evolve. Support adjusts as workload, matches, or setbacks change — keeping you progressing within one system, not between services.

What the System Delivers.

Cricket Matters isn’t a collection of separate services. It’s one performance system — applied as you need it, when you need it.

Cricket Coaching.

Cricket coaching sits at the centre of the system — never in isolation. Technical and tactical work is shaped by how you move and what you can repeat under pressure, so improvements hold up in matches — not just nets.

Strength & Conditioning.

Strength and conditioning builds your capacity to train, play, and recover. Training reflects cricket’s demands — sprinting, throwing, rotation, repeat efforts — with durability as the goal, not fatigue for its own sake.

Injury Management & Rehabilitation.

Injury rehab work is integrated into the system, not treated as a detour. Assessment identifies what’s driving symptoms, and rehabilitation is blended into training so return-to-play is specific to cricket — not just pain-free.

Nutrition & Recovery Support.

Nutrition and recovery support availability — not trends. Practical, individual guidance helps fuel training, manage load, and recover between sessions so consistency is maintained across the season.

Ongoing Oversight.

Once you’re in the system, decisions stay connected. Training, coaching, and recovery evolve as demands change — so progress continues within one system, not across disconnected services.

Strength & Conditioning.

Strength and conditioning builds the capacity to train, play, and recover consistently. Training is aligned to cricket’s demands — sprinting, throwing, rotation, repeat efforts — and adjusted as form, workload, and the season change. The goal is durability, not fatigue for its own sake.

The Practitioner Behind the System

Built by Someone Accountable for the Decisions.

James Breese: Strength and Conditioning Expert at Cricket Matters

Cricket Matters isn’t a collection of services. It’s a performance system designed to guide better decisions — over seasons, not sessions.

I’m James Breese, founder of Cricket Matters and a sports therapist working at the intersection of coaching, training, and rehabilitation in cricket.

I’ve coached players.
I’ve prepared athletes.
I’ve treated injuries.
And I still play the game.

That matters — because the decisions inside this system aren’t theoretical. They’re based on what actually breaks players, what keeps them on the field, and what allows improvement to hold up in matches and across seasons.

Cricket Matters exists to remove guesswork. I’m accountable for the thinking behind it.

James Breese
Founder, Cricket Matters

Start in the Right Place.

Every cricketer starts with assessment — to identify what’s limiting progress before training or coaching begins.
