WI coaching re-think needed By Rudi Webster

West Indies coaches might be searching for success in the illuminated area because that is where their knowledge and experience lie. But the key to West Indies revival might very well lie in the dark, not in the light of their thinking, knowledge and experience.

Jacques Kallis, the great South African all-rounder, is a strong advocate of self-reliance. He once said: “In some ways coaching today is like a dictatorship. By that I mean the players are too dependent on their coaches and that coaches do not encourage them to stand on their own feet, back their own judgment and make up their own minds. The player needs to be more self-reliant, learn all he can about his game, and take responsibility for improving and managing it. When you are batting in the middle the coach can't help you and if you can't stay calm, keep your concentration and think for yourself, you won't do well.”

Rudy Webster's Pearls of Wisdom
are wasted on those in the governance of Cricket in the Region.

They are too inflated with Self Importance & Arrogance to pay
attention to Dr. Rudy Webster

Could poor performance of the head coach and specialists, and their bombardment of players with excessive information confuse team members and interfere with their thinking, concentration, judgment and confidence? That is a question that they should seriously consider.


Gut feeling or he has evidence of such?
