Kevin requests cricket coaches to join a survey

Kevin Tissera, who is undertaking a PhD to develop an evidence-based approach to coaching and skills acquisition in cricket, is inviting coaches who have been in the field over the past five years to participate in a survey to understand how they are currently using feedback and technology.

“I am a PhD Candidate in Sport Science at the Department of Health and Biostatistics at Swinburne University of Technology, Victoria, Australia.

My project is currently exploring the role of feedback and technology in cricket coaching. Feedback, when provided appropriately by coaches, can play a really important role in skill development and performance improvements of the players involved. Recently, there have been a lot of advancements made to technology, which is increasingly being used in sports such as cricket, to help coaches provide feedback and help cricketers become better players,” says Tissera who had grown up in Melbourne.

“To better understand how cricket coaches are currently using feedback and technology, we have created a short survey that we are asking cricket coaches to complete. The survey takes about 20 minutes, is anonymous, and will help shape future research undertaken in the area. We are hoping that, by better understanding the role and use of feedback and technology, we can start developing evidence-based approaches that can be utilized at all levels of cricket. Implementing such approach, at grassroots levels for example, will have a big effect on skill acquisition and help to foster the development of future cricket stars.”
