The five pillars
A complete cricketer is built, not born.
Every athlete at The Pitch trains across all five performance pillars — on the pitch in Nagpur, and digitally through Striide during monsoon and winter months.
Pillar 1
Technique
Batting, bowling and fielding drills refined by professional standards, including high-performance pathways at the academy, based on your schedule. Striide app can be used to revisit at home, or while travelling.
Pillar 2
Match Craft
At the academy you will learn game awareness, situational play and tactical decision-making. At home you can learn from international players and ICC pathway creators about strategy, on your Striide app, using your own personalised plan.
Pillar 3
Strength
Cricket-specific strength, agility and endurance programming. You learn all these at the academy. And when you are not physically at the academy, Striide app will help you create that daily routine, habit and discipline.
Pillar 4
Mental Resilience
Match temperament, focus rituals and pressure simulation. You learn at the academy, but also top it at home or during your travels listening to some of the very best coaches all over the world on Striide App.
