Cricket's not just a physical game. It's a mental one too.

Pressure? Don't know the meaning of the word (PS, Fieldy, count me in).
- Hinay Dassani

Winning cricket games doesn't just depend on getting the physical side of your game right. Sure, hitting a ball miles helps, as does bowling at 90mph. But to sustain success you've clearly got to have the mental side of your game in order, too.

That's not as easy as it sounds. Many a talent has been lost as he/she couldn't deal with the challenges of dealing with pressure situations. Conversely, many a cricketer has also made an impact that went way beyond that which their natural talent alone warranted.

Given this, the Ts are having a session on 12 June to help everyone gain more of an understanding of the link between the physical and mental sides of the game. The exact time of kick off will be announced in due course, but if you're interested in coming along then do get in touch with Tom Field - either directly, via the TCC watsapp group or through your skipper - to reserve yourself a place. It sounds like it'll be a really interesting session.
