The FITBAR approach

Understand the batter before changing the batting.

Assess how the player currently creates and applies power, identify what matters most, and develop options that suit their game.

Specialist coaching pathways

Choose the right starting point for the player.

Power Hitting Assessment

Start with an individual assessment of the player’s current batting, contact, control, scoring options and ability to create and apply power. Leave with clear priorities and recommended next steps.

Four-Week Power Hitting

A focused individual coaching block that begins with assessment, then develops and applies the batting priorities that matter most for the player.

Cricket Performance Coaching

Combine individual Power Hitting with strength and conditioning to develop both batting skill and the physical qualities that support cricket performance.

You do not need to choose the pathway before enquiring. Tell Shalika about the player, their goals and current cricket, and he will recommend the most appropriate starting point.
