New 6-week pre-season ‘Warriors Wellness’ Programme
The NWCU have launched a new online pre-season ‘Warriors Wellness’ programme to help our players prepare for the season ahead.
The comprehensive 6-week programme is open to any male or female player in the NWCU, aged between 14-24* this season. It will cover many aspects of player development including:
- Cricket skills
- Strength & Conditioning
- Cricket Mobility
- Wellness and Performance
Kathryn Rough, NWCU Cricket Development Officer, explained the new programme:
“Normally at this time of the year all our squads would be in the middle of a busy pre-season but obviously that isn’t possible at the moment. However we wanted to create something to help our players prepare and have pulled together an excellent 6-week schedule covering all aspects of player development.
There will be live webinars during the week on cricket skills, mobility for cricketers plus our ‘Wellness & Performance’ webinars. Players will also receive weekly S&C plans. As part of the programme we have some excellent guest speakers on sports psychology, nutrition, mental health and high performing athletes.”
