Episode 190 with Rob Jones on how his career as a pro cricketer has led to him wanting to give back to the game as a coach

Rob grew up with cricket from a very young age as far back as 3-4 years old taking a red cricket bat on holiday with his parents to Wales. Aged 10 he wrote on an A4 piece of paper that he wanted to become a pro cricketer and stuck it up on his wall. Aged 18 he played in the U19 world cup with England and two years later he received his first cap for Lancs. However by his own admission he never really fulfilled his potential as a batter in county cricket and so earlier this year decided to retire from the game and turn to coaching where he will start working with Glamorgan next month.

Marc first experienced coaching when he was appointed as the overseas pro aged 22 at Radcliffe CC in Notts coming over from New Zealand. He had been challenged to find a way to leave the club in a better place by his mentor at the time Mike Shrimpton and this is how he got involved with coaching others. He now focuses his time more specifically around helping players with the mental side of the game whether that be pre ball routines or diaphragmatic breathing and really loves this means of supporting other cricketers.
