Cricket is an amazing game. Every Indian loves to watch, comment and enjoy's by watching it. For me sometimes, it s a blanced act of several KPI's.I found some interesting lessons from cricket, hope you too love the lessons.
1. Team Work: Its a team effort, every individual's contribution really matters. Some times more effort from one and sometimes more encouragement and motivation required.When ever a player missed a catch, or played duck out the stress factor on the player is deadley. It impacts on the other team members also. If a team manages to balance the team work results are miracles / Winning.
2. Strategy: Every match should have a strategy.Every player need to understand the strategy and digest it to deliver the result. Work on different permutations and combinations, like what happens if we loose the toss, what happens if we quickly loose our wickets..What happens if rain comes.
3. Manage Stress: Managing stress, meeting the expectations of crowd,country and coach will put players under pressure. How well they manage, based on that they will be winning or losing the matches.Only one thing is enjoy the game, and give your best efforts. thinking today is the last match you are going to paly.
4.Attention: So much attention from the crowd,media,board,team members This distract's the players. it will make the player with one match a hero or a zero.If the match won by the team, next match expectations will be more...Players should not be carried away with the past success. think this is the first match, player need to perform and show his contribution.If a player lost the match, immediately he need to bounce back with more energy and confidence.
5.Humble and Polite: Everybody is watching you, every player need to be humble and polite with other team players and counterparts. Sometimes, if the player is crossing the limit,Umpire may punish by banning or removing from the match.This leads to contribution of the player will be missing..Keep the players track record clean it will always pay back.
6. Dont be Selfish: In a situation, where you are nearing the century, or near to the records you will become so selfish, you will play for your achivements, then your team may loose the match.Always top priority is team winning.
7.Understand the Opposition strategies: When a player understand the opposition strategies, palyer wont be trapped. Manytimes, a bowler's easy ball land in to a wicket lose. When a player understand the mind game of opposition, he will win the game. This can be done ultimately by focussing on the goal.
8.Win / Lose: It require lot of guts to digest the lose of the game. When a match lost, players will be at zero level motivation, or starts blaming the other person, or starts giving reasons for the lose. Winning or loosing the match is nothing. How well both the situations taken positively.Learning the mistakes from lost match, keeping the momentum of winning.
9. Practise..Practise: Practise makes player fit and put him at a winning side. A regular practise needs blanced diet always with a lovely family support.
10. Its a Game: Its a game, enjoy the game, instead of carrying the pressure,personal politics,personal achivements and grudges. When a player plays with his heart......he will always win the match.
Conclusion....Cricket is a game, religion where every one has a different opinion about it, but understanding our strenghts and weekness and trying to overcome the gaps really keep us winning either in the game or in real life.
