Personal Development has a positive impact on performance, confidence, resilience and contribution to team performance An overwhelming majority of county Directors of Cricket and coaches believe that the Professional Cricketers’ Association’s Personal Welfare and Development Programme is having a positive impact on players on and off the pitch. A total of 61 coaches, 21 one of them first team coaches and 19 county Second XI coaches, responded to the survey which was conducted in 2015. The survey confirms that that the work of the PCA’s six-strong team of Personal Development and Welfare Managers (PDMs) has a positive impact on performance, confidence, resilience and contribution to team performances as well as preparing for players for life after cricket. Two further PDMs are employed by the England and Wales Cricket Board and work with England teams. {{ak_sharing}}
