100% Dedication – Full webinar video

Australia women’s team Head Coach, Matthew Mott talked about his role as a coach: “Fundamentally cricket is to be enjoyed, it is a game we first took up because we loved playing. As a coach the biggest thing you can do is to enhance and grow that. For me it is a player-centred and player-led environment, the coach needs to help facilitate and drive, but there has never been a great team that wasn’t self-sufficient. It is the coach’s job sometimes to just get out the way, we talk a lot about training ugly and make mistakes so that we learn and get better.”

Talking about the development of the women’s game, Mott added: “What we don’t want to do is to replicate the men’s game, we want to be innovative. The women’s game is not a brute force game, it is a highly skilled game, with a really good contest between bat and ball. The overwhelming response is that it is highly skilled and I want to watch that again, 86,174 in the MCG is testimony to that, people are enjoying the product.

“We talk about playing with a smile on your face, that entire World Cup and in particular Thailand going out and playing with a smile on their face. We loved what they brought to that tournament, it was such a great advertisement for the women’s game.”

Bangladesh women’s team Head Coach, Anju Jain shared her experience of being introduced to coaching: “To begin with I never thought I would be a coach, as when someone suggested it I laughed. Immediately after retirement I went into the selection committee, I soon realized that was not for me. During that I knew my passion was being on the field and on the ground. I can’t sit on the sidelines and watch the game, the second best thing after playing was coaching and I started doing all the courses and it transformed everything.”

100% Cricket provides a platform to celebrate the women’s game and bring everything fans love about the sport to life. The ICC’s pledge to bring 1 million new women and girls to the game as part of 100% Cricket will be delivered in partnership with Members. For more information on 100% cricket click here.
