The Cricket Transfer Kickstart

Make your gym sessions actually show up on the pitch.

You're already training. The weights are going up. But nothing feels different when you bat, bowl, or field. This fixes that - in 14 days, for free.

100% free. Limited spots.

"Getting me in great shape for the start of the season. Highly recommended."

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You're training hard. But is any of it actually helping your cricket?

  • You're in the gym three or four times a week. Weights are going up. But when you walk out to bat or bowl, nothing feels different.

  • You've got no way to measure whether any of this is working. It's all just a feeling - and the feeling is "I don't know."

  • You've thought "I could waste a month on this routine and just bin it off" -

    so you've stopped trusting any plan to actually work.

  • You care about cricket more than most people around you realise. You train like you want to be an athlete — you just don't have the right system yet.

Hi, I'm Tom 👋

I used to do bodybuilding splits thinking they'd make me better at cricket. Got bigger, but my cricket stayed exactly the same. Same power. Same stiffness after matches. Same gassing out in the field.

A Sports Science degree and two seasons playing in New Zealand later, I stripped it back to compound lifts, progressive overload, and consistency. My batting average went up, I became a lot more explosive, and I feel better on the pitch than I ever have.

I'm not an elite player. Skill-wise, average at best. But physically I'm in great shape and it gives me real attributes on the pitch I wouldn't otherwise have.

If you're already training in the gym, you're ahead of most cricketers. But the plans you're following were designed for aesthetics, not cricket. I've condensed everything I know into this free 14-day challenge to show you the difference.

Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.

The Real Problem

Generic plans don't work for cricket. Here's why:

Everything you've tried was built for someone else. Aesthetics or fat loss. Not for a sport built on short bursts, fast reactions, and explosive movements.

Generic Plans

  • Isolation exercises that never translate to the pitch

  • 4–5 sessions a week until you burn out and stop entirely

  • No way to know if your gym work is actually helping your cricket

  • Built for aesthetics (chest, back legs, arms) not batting power or bowling speed

  • Falls apart every summer when cricket starts and your schedule shifts

Cricket Transfer System

  • Compound movements that build usable cricket strength and explosive power

  • 2–3 sessions per week, 45 minutes each, built around your actual life

  • A test-retest system so you always know it's working. In numbers, not feelings

  • Every exercise links to a cricket attribute: batting, bowling, fielding

  • Adapts to your schedule - cricket Saturdays, tag rugby Thursdays, whatever your week looks like

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for club cricketers?

Yes. Specifically for club cricketers who are already training in the gym but can't feel the difference on the pitch. If you've ever finished a gym session and thought "is any of this actually helping my cricket?" - this is built for you.

What is involved?

Over 14 days, you'll get short daily videos (1–2 minutes each) covering the Cricket Transfer System framework, sample exercises you can do that week, a Day 1 baseline test and Day 14 retest, and access to a WhatsApp community of club cricketers all doing the same challenge.

Will this work if I can only train 2–3 days a week?

That's exactly what it's built around. More sessions don't mean better performance. Better programming does. Two focused sessions per week with the right exercises will outperform five random ones every time.

I'm mid-season. Is this still relevant?

Yes. The challenge teaches you a framework that adapts across the cricket year. It's not just a pre-season thing. Plenty of cricketers use it mid-season to understand what to do right now and carry the benchmarks through to the end of summer and beyond.

Why is it free? What's the catch?

No catch. I run a give-first business model: I want you to get such a clear result over 14 days that if you choose to work with me afterwards, it's a straightforward decision. There's a full programme you can join after the challenge, but there's no obligation. You walk away with a better understanding of how to train for cricket either way.

Do I need a gym?

No. The challenge itself doesn't require any equipment, just your attention and focus. If you go on to join the full programme afterwards, it can be done with bodyweight and resistance bands, but you'll get the best results with access to a gym.
