You have the analysis. Phase scores, flags, root cause, three drills, Coach Arjun's note. The question every coach faces: what do I do with this at 4pm on Tuesday when 15 players are standing at the nets?
The coach's rule
One player, one root cause, one session. The temptation to fix everything at once is understandable — resist it. A player who makes one genuine improvement per session will transform their action in 6 weeks. A player who tries to fix six things at once will improve none of them.
Before the session — 5 minutes with each analysis
Spend 5 minutes with each player's analysis before the session. You're looking for three things: the root cause phase (where your coaching energy goes), the green flags (what to protect — do not coach these), and the downstream flags (real flags, but don't drill them directly before the root cause is stable).
Net session structure — three blocks
Block 1 — Drill (10–15 min): Before any balls are bowled or faced, run drill 1 from the analysis. Focused, specific, deliberate practice — not warm-up. Film the drill.
Block 2 — Coached delivery/play (20–30 min): One coaching cue only — the root cause correction. The player should be able to repeat the cue to you if asked.
Block 3 — Free play (10 min): No coaching cues. Observe whether the correction holds under match simulation.
Presenting analysis to parents
The PDF is designed to be shared. Lead with the green flags — what's working well. Explain the root cause concept in one sentence: "The phase marked ROOT CAUSE is the one we're fixing first. When we fix this, the other flags often improve automatically." Share drill 1. Give them a re-upload date. This conversation transforms parent trust — and parent retention.
"The coaches who get the best results read the note, pick one thing, and drill that one thing until it's fixed before they move on. The ones who try to address every flag at once end up coaching confusion, not technique. — Arjun Sir"
The re-upload schedule
- Day 1: Analysis briefing with player. Primary drill prescribed.
- Day 8–10: Session 2 — drill + coaching cue throughout nets.
- Day 14–16: Re-upload. Review comparison with player and parent.
When the analysis and your eye disagree
This will happen. The human eye at 24 frames per second misses things that computer vision at frame-level catches. The productive response: show the player the specific frame where the flag occurs. Compare it to the reference. The gap between what the action feels like and what it measurably does is exactly what CricMotion closes.
