Why do some players struggle to let go of a mistake?

In this episode of The Cricket Mind Podcast, Nathan Wood and Briony Brock explore why mistakes can linger in your mind — and what actually helps you reset and move on.

Drawing on real examples from junior cricket through to the professional game, this episode looks at:

• Why resilience is about recovery, not pretending you’re fine

• The difference between strength and emotional adaptability

• How unprocessed emotions show up later as anger, fear, or loss of confidence

• Why crying and anger are signals, not weaknesses

• How boys and girls are often taught resilience differently

• What coaches and parents can do to support resilience without blocking it

• How long resilience takes to develop — and what progress actually looks like

This is a practical, honest conversation for players, parents, and coaches who want to help cricketers recover better from mistakes, pressure, and disappointment — both on and off the field.
