Manish Patel: Cricket Coaching and Playing Project in St Lucia
Why did you decide to go overseas?
The reason why I went overseas was to develop my coaching abilities and skills. I wanted to experience coaching in another country, to see whether or not their coaching styles/leaderships differ to mine back in England. I’ve always wanted to travel to the Caribbean for quite a while, so getting the chance to coach cricket and travel at the same time was perfect!
What did you achieve during your trip with us?
I believe I achieved many things with my time abroad. However, one thing I did achieve was being able to coach professional cricket players. We were very lucky to coach the women’s national side. At first I thought the task would be very daunting, as I believe I didn’t have the capability or experience to lead a session for a national team. However, when we got going, it was brilliant. They were very grateful for our help and complimented the drills that we were running with them!
