Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the viability of the Long-Term Coaching Development Model for Cricket Players in Pakistan. It has been suggested that the coaching model is fundamental to enhancing the practice and performance of cricket players. There is a need to develop a standardized model of coaching from the perspective of Pakistan to follow by the players and coaches for skill-based training. Thus, the current study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the “Long Term Coaching Development Model†based on the perspective of the Long-term athlete development (LTAD) model in Pakistan. The Qualitative study was conducted through purposive sampling by selecting professional coaches (N=03) having a minimum of 10 years of experience in the field of cricket coaching, and players (N=20) were recruited in City Cricket Association Player (CCA) Sialkot, Pakistan. A total of 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed by independent researchers. The transcripts were analyzed using a systematic approach that incorporates inductive thematic analysis. The themes emerged that the coaching model comprised the five main elements: 1) Ground Realities, 2) Mental Toughness, 3) Situational Analysis, 4) Development of Match Scenario, and 5) Improvisation in a different match. Other than the coaching element, effective communication is very important for the player and coach in preparing cricket players to excel on the field and in life.
