The following quote is from current queensland indoor cricket coach brett hogan who sums up the way we
should all approach training
One day, during the 2006 state titles, we’d just lost a game and we were hurting we
were down to 2nd spot on the ladder. We were practicing and afterward my dad came
down to me and said, “why did you practice today?” “Because we had to,” I said.
“Everybody had to.” “Well you shouldn’t have. You just wasted your time and
theirs. You didn’t give an effort.”
That was the last time we talked about it until later that summer. We were
at my grandmother’s house and she was out in the sun working in the garden, and
my dad comes up to me and says, “Look at that, seventy nine and she’s still
working hard and you’re thirty six and when you’re in the queensland state tiles
you won’t even practice!”
Ever since then, the highest compliment you can pay me is to say that I work
hard every day, that I never dog it.
dosent matter if your a junior, a novice player or a cricketer at there highest level work hard or go home..
