DI PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT KEEPS WORKING!! :D FOCUS ON HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAMME

10/02/2015

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – A significant shift has been made to the delivery of the West Indies Cricket Board’s High Performance Programme.

The fine work which the West Indies High Performance Centre – located on the Cave Hill campus of the University of the West Indies in Barbados – and formerly sponsored by regional financial services giant Sagicor – had performed has been widely acknowledged.

The High Performance Programme, administered through the WIHPC, played a crucial role in developing the emerging generation of current West Indies players including new Test captain Jason Holder, opener Kraigg Brathwaite, fellow batsmen Jermaine Blackwood, Rajindra Chandrika, Shai Hope, wicketkeeper/batsman Shane Dowrich, all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, fast bowler Shannon Gabriel and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican.

The HPC however, no longer operates under its previous format of registering a cohort of emerging players for a residential programme and working on a year-round basis, following a review of its structure and programme by Director of Cricket Richard Pybus.

With the establishment of six WICB Professional Cricket League franchises, the HPC is now dedicated to providing the finishing touches to elite players that emerge from regional competitions.

“We need to differentiate between the High Performance Centre and High Performance Programme,” said Pybus. “The staff is still based in Barbados, but we no longer have a cohort because we are now looking to the franchises to develop the talent.

“The financial investment is into the establishment of a sustainable professional cricket system in the region, not only as a standalone professional product in the sporting marketplace, but also with the specific goal to produce players for the West Indies.

“It is now the responsibility of the territorial boards in their development programmes and the franchises with first-class cricket to ensure the player pipeline to West Indies teams is well-stocked with international standard players.”

Pybus added however, there are two key steps in the player pathway that he would like to see addressed – the establishment of a second-tier, franchise tournament and a regional academy.

“The tournament will serve a number of playing and development purposes, expanding and accelerating the work the WICB is currently doing of preparing players for the highest levels of the game,” he said.

“The academy would bring in the best elite emerging players to the HPC for three months in the off-season and they be groomed for international cricket.

“Right now, we are seeking sponsorship to operate both programmes in a meaningful way.”

For now, Pybus said, there were greater playing opportunities than previously for elite players in the Caribbean, and the focus was using those tournaments to identify the best players and refine their skills under the new HPP.

“There is now an expanded Regional 4-Day Tournament, we will have an expanded NAGICO Super50 and there is also the Caribbean Premier League,” he said.

To further achieve the vision of becoming No.1 in the game in all formats in the foreseeable future, the Directors of the WICB recently signed off on a HPP Manual to be distributed widely to the territorial boards.

“The HPP now has three key steps: identification, development and management of those players,” said Pybus.

“The document being circulated highlights these three keys, and can be used as a reference guide for best-practice preparation for players to achieve their peak performance and the ultimate goal of making the West Indies team.

“The WICB understands that it’s important that we strive to be a World-leader in the all-round development of our elite players, so research, innovation and consistency with evidence-based practice must be essential to our philosophy and approach going forward.”

The HPP Manual is designed to provide insight into the preparation and management of players within WICB Elite Cricket Programmes from Under-15 right up to teams at senior levels.

It uses the concept of “gears” to illustrate the importance of integrating, identifying and sequencing different factors to produce optimal performance.

“Within the model is the implication that it is necessary to consider all of the various factors that can impact a player’s performance,” said Pybus.

“In an effort to achieve optimal training and performance, each factor needs to be addressed. The WICB HP training model sets the stage for periodization of training. The model ensures that all factors that can influence performance are integrated into an integrated performance plan.”

The methodology identifies, integrates, and sequences nine unique training disciplines:

1. Physical Conditioning

2. Sport Medicine Support

3. Mental Conditioning

4. Leadership

5. Technical Cricket Skills

6. Nutrition

7. Vision Training

8. Life Skills

9. Education

Pybus said all activities of the HPP focus on optimal short, medium and long-term athletic preparation. He noted that this training methodology focusses on the process (training and performing to one’s actual best capacity) rather than on the outcome (winning).

“Our methodology is athlete-centered and coach-driven, ensuring that athletic training is both cricket-specific and tailored to individual needs,” he said.

“Players will undergo regular evaluations of all aspects of their high-performance training and development.”

Ultimately my dear duncies!!..these plans are what me and other members of di PM been fighting for for YEARS!!. Bit by bit we getting it right...everything takes time and the days can be full of frustration but the bottom line remains that if and when we complete these structural changes it will have a PROFOUND effect on our cricket and we will finally have a structure either on par, or BETTER than our test rivals around the world for the first time in decades.

All di off di field stuff means NOTHING in comparison. Now results haven't been good enough, that's fully acknowledged. But these results are effectively the consequence of a system that was totally flawed. We're fixing that now so that the generations of cricketers that come in the future can break this vicious cycle.

Big up yourself RP!

AS FOR GIRLS!!!

Well did we not win three trophies in 2016? :? So clearly some of those things we put in place in 2015 DID work. In hindsight, though, I guess that stuff RP implemented were just short term measures. We need much more than that and this is what I'm telling the board.

You just talking but hindsight and alternative facts are not compatible.

BWICBC 1st team were T20 champs in 2014, your little claim that pYbuS' plans were effective enough to win the 2016 title dont account for this. If you really believed that you wouldn't have contradicted yourself....
What is clear is we need a new approach to our cricket now


As I said, you just talking.

How could any critical thinker hope to have anything more than a stand off approach to BWICBC cricket when there are persons such as your self claiming to be real fans and upholding everything regional who see no contradiction, and feel no confliction, when speaking for and stoutly defending the reputation of a english man in his absence, even in the face of his undoubted ineffectiveness and large financial return for printing a document founded on six weeks of research.
I guess my points stands


Semantics. Dates dont effect alligiances, facts do.
1. Physical Conditioning, 2. Sport Medicine Support, 3. Mental Conditioning, 4. Leadership, 5. Technical Cricket Skills, 6. Nutrition, 7. Vision Training, 8. Life Skills, 9. Education
Facts are stubborn, thats why you will never be able to show exactly where in pyBuS' 9 stated aims these improvements were made, nor which individuals among the T20 squad made them.

Name calling and playing word game semantcs are naturally the only refuge your hollow claims have to mask behind (I knew this before you started talking) so thank you for showing my observation to be sound in good time, you just talking.
