Paul Farbrace - Coaching, Fitness, Technique and Tips for O60s Cricketers
In this episode of the Silver Stumps podcast Sussex head coach Paul Farbrace joins hosts Grant Timms and Trevor Lee to talk coaching, fitness, techniques and tips for Over 60s cricketers. Paul provides a fascinating insight into being an international cricket coach as well as providing a host of tips and advice for Over 60s cricketers from being passionate about playing to learning how to master the reverse sweep. As a coach Paul explains that the greatest thing a coach can have is empathy whilst getting to know players as a person and being there to give and boost confidence.For the O60s Paul believes that having passion for the game is one of the keys to success along with playing the first 6-10 balls before you go out to bat and using the warm up to get your eye-hand coordination working. He suggests throwing a rugby ball around, doing catching drills in 2/3s and hitting full tosses when batting. As a batsman Paul believes you need to set the field not the bowler and using the reverse sweep is a way of doing that. It’s never too late to learn new skills eg reverse sweeping and to ensure your passion for the game burns brightly.  Grant and Trevor will be looking for future guests who can provide insights, tips, advice and inspiration to those playing cricket at this age and beyond! To be a guest on the show or advise on someone who would make a great guest please drop an email to podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk    If you like the show please press the subscribe / follow button on your podcast app and every new episode will there ready for you to listen to as soon as it goes live.And it would be great if you left the show a rating / review - this is easily done via your podcast app and would be much appreciated.Please also share with your cricket mates and talk about on social media.Thanks for listening! Silver Stumps is the podcast aimed at Over 60 Cricketers.
