Mental Health

Everybody has mental health and we can all do things to improve it. Unfortunately the conversation on the topic seems to stall around one end of the scale, focusing almost exclusively on illness. We are committed to promoting positive mental health so that people can flourish and thrive as well as being more aware of declines to get help proactively.

Promoting Mental Fitness

​Steve Waugh once said that cricket is 90% mental and 10% physical. Whether you agree with these numbers or not it is clear that the sport is heavily focused on mentality. Much, if not all, of training is focused around the physical side of things. Cricket, and team sports in general, has so many ways to build mental fitness to improve your performance and also your overall wellbeing.
