Fitness and Movement Assessment

We assess your fitness and movement to ensure you have the mobility and strength needed to get into the correct positions on the field. This helps you play more effectively, avoid injuries, recover faster and enjoy the game more.

Personalised Training Plan

This plan is designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily routine, often involving consistent, manageable tasks—no matter how big or small—each day to ensure continuous progress.

Client Reviews

I’ve had the pleasure of working with James and Josh over the several months with a tailored personalised training plan. They are true fitness professionals and have really transformed my athletic ability on the cricket pitch. Can’t recommend them highly enough – great team to work with.

Rehan KahnGoogle 5-Star Review

Cricket Matters, it’s brilliant! James’ unique blend of tailored cricket training, fitness, and nutrition coaching is revolutionary. Based in Cardiff, James’ passion and expertise have significantly boosted my performance and recovery speed. For a serious cricket upgrade, Cricket Matters is the place to be. Remarkable coaching, noticeable results!

Dave RogersGoogle 5-Star Review

Having James on board with the Wales over 50s cricket squad has been hugely beneficial. Pre the World Cup in March James gave us warm up and warm down flexibility exercises to do. We continued to do these exercises religiously during the 9 game tournament. This helped immensely in none of the squad getting any muscular strains or injuries. This has continued during the season and I’ve taken these exercises on board to do pre and post my club games as well.

James and Josh were incredible to work with! They’re knowledgeable, skilled, professional and personable. Their programme was specific to my needs and it was continually tweaked as the time progressed. It was tough, but rewarding! Thanks to their programme I now have a framework that I can continually apply in order to maintain and improve my fitness!

What Is The Duration Of The Strength and Conditioning Program?

he Cricket Matters Strength and Conditioning Program offers flexible durations to suit your needs and goals. You can choose from three options:

3-Month Program: Ideal for those looking to kickstart their training or focus on short-term goals.
6-Month Program: An excellent option for sustained improvement and building a solid foundation for long-term performance.
12-Month Program: Perfect for athletes committed to a full year of comprehensive training, ensuring continuous progress and peak conditioning.

Each duration is designed to provide you with the right support and training intensity to achieve your specific objectives.

How Do You Deliver the Strength and Conditioning Program?

The Cricket Matters Strength and Conditioning Program is primarily delivered through our easy-to-use app, Everfit. This app lets you access your personalised training plan, track progress, and communicate directly with your coach.

For those who need additional support, we also offer supplementary in-person sessions. These sessions can be beneficial if you need to work on specific techniques or require hands-on guidance to refine your form.

This flexible approach ensures you get the most out of your training, whether working independently or needing that extra in-person touch.

Do You Offer Both In-Person And Online Strength and Conditioning Options?

Our Strength and Conditioning Program is primarily delivered online through our Everfit app, which allows you to follow your personalised training plan and stay connected with your coach.

However, we understand that some aspects of training, such as technique work, may benefit from in-person guidance. If you need extra help refining your form or working on specific techniques, you can book additional in-person sessions to complement your online training.

This hybrid approach provides the flexibility of online training with the option for hands-on support when needed.

How Often Will I Have Strength and Conditioning Sessions?

It depends on your needs and goals. We can design a program where you train multiple times a day, seven days a week, if that’s what you aim for.

The frequency and intensity of your sessions will vary based on whether you’re in-season or off-season and how it fits into your playing schedule.

Most athletes incorporate training daily, whether focused on nutrition, building healthy habits, or specific conditioning exercises. Typically, many cricketers engage in 3 to 5 strength and conditioning sessions a week, supplemented by cardio and mobility work.

But ultimately, it’s all tailored to your unique situation.

How Do You Track And Measure My Progress?

We track and measure your progress using a training software called Everfit.

It’s like Facebook for cricket coaching—a platform where we can communicate, share videos, track your progress, and keep you motivated and accountable. This ensures that no detail is overlooked.

With Everfit, we provide high-quality coaching using the best tools available, ensuring every aspect of your training is monitored and optimized for improvement.

Do You Provide Nutritional Guidance As Part Of The Coaching?

Yes, we offer nutritional guidance, but it depends on your specific goals and priorities.

If we determine that nutrition is essential to reaching your objectives, it will be included in your coaching plan. However, if it’s not an immediate priority, we may focus on other areas first.

That said, nutrition is a vital part of overall performance, and we’ll address it when the time is right to support your progress.

Are There Any Age or Skill Level Requirements for the Strength and Conditioning Program?

Yes, there are specific requirements.

Our adult coaching program is designed for cricketers aged 18 and over serious about improving their game.

Whether you’re playing in local leagues, aiming to enhance your weekend performance, or simply looking to refine your skills, our program is tailored for those who want to elevate their game.

Our coaching is ideal for those with a committed mindset who value high-quality training and are eager to improve. While our program isn’t suited for complete beginners, it’s perfect for players ready to invest in their development and achieve significant progress.

Will I Receive Personalised Feedback And Analysis After Each Session?

Better than that—you’ll receive feedback daily. Our app lets us stay connected with you daily, providing ongoing communication and support.

Cricket can be a lonely game, but we’re always here on your side, ready to talk cricket and support you throughout your journey. Whether it’s after a session or when you need it most, we’re committed to helping you succeed.

What Is The Cost Of The Coaching Program?

Our Strength and Conditioning Program starts at £997 for a 3-month plan, with payment plans available to make it more accessible. Please visit our pricing page for detailed pricing information and explore other program durations.

Do You Coach Female Cricketers?

Absolutely! In fact, female cricketers can benefit greatly from strength and conditioning, as they are often more prone to certain injuries, such as ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries in the knees. Our program is tailored to address these specific needs, helping female athletes build strength, improve resilience, and reduce the risk of injury, all while enhancing their overall performance on the field.

Do I Need to Be a Member of a Gym?

No, you don’t need to be a member of a gym to participate in our program. We tailor your training to the equipment you have access to, whether that’s a full gym setup, basic home equipment, or even no equipment at all. That said, having more equipment can offer greater variety and options in your training plan, but we’ll make sure the program is effective and suited to your specific situation, no matter what you have.
