🫵🏼 Great opportunity to come and work with me and the team that I’m fortunate enough to lead!

⌛️But it’s important to remember that ‘success’ can be a slow burner with the bearing of fruit coming from strong roots and foundations across the board. #talentdevelopment #pathway.

👏🏻 Not for 1 second is the suggestion that these players - who all represent a bright future for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Cricket - have all developed directly through Cricket Wales. Their cricket clubs, schools, coaches, parents + @GlamCricket deserve immense credit for their invaluable roles.

. as a young pathway player made his professional debut for Glamorgan, taking a catch off his teammate and fellow pathway graduate’s bowling. ❤️ More special than that was watching both Mum’s sat together in the stands sharing a moment as their sons celebrated.

👁️ In high performance sport patience, seeing the bigger picture + a belief to stay the course are essential as the outputs you seek are often achieved years afterwards. As I approach 7.5 years at @CricketWales I was able to witness something special this week….

⏳ Talent development isn’t a quick journey or process. 📊 In fact, as a system lead it can be incredibly frustrating - full of greyness and uncertainty, with plenty of knives out there ready to criticise outputs (or lack of) in the ‘now’.

🚴🏻 After many months of procrastinating and feeds being flooded with outhouses and garden rooms we finally have a garage gym!. 💪🏻 Never been one that had much confidence going to public gyms, much preferring somewhere in your own surroundings instead, and now we have it!. 🏡

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 There’s a reason why this festival remains the highlight of so many players.summers, and this year didn’t disappoint!. 🙌🏻 Special thanks to @AberUni , @AberCC for their terrific hosting. To my pathway team and our brilliant coaches for their diligence + professionalism!

🚹🚺 For many it represents the 1st time staying away from home, stepping into the unknown + generally being challenged out of their comfort zone. The result?. ✅ Friendships forged.✅ Confidence built.✅ Personal skills developed.✅ Plenty of fun had.✅ Love of cricket enhanced

🏏 The 33rd edition of the @CricketWales Aberystwyth Cricket Festival complete this week, featuring our U10 Boys, U12 & U14 Girls. 😅 Whilst the cricket is the primary focus of the three day residential, it’s so much more than that. 🧵Here’s why…

🏏 An amazing opportunity for someone to take this forward in their own way!. 🙌🏻 We’re blessed to have an inspirational bunch of people across our two senior teams who are brilliant to work with!. 🗓️ Deadline 8th Sept. 📱 Contact me for an informal discussion if interested!

🌼 The perfect example of why you should never ‘just be a wicketkeeper’ at 12 years old!. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 To all those who have played a role in Rom’s journey, what a proud moment!. 🏏 @BuckleyCC | @CwnYouth | @WalesNCounty | @GlamCricket |. 👊🏼 Couldn’t happen to a nicer lad!.
