Does anybody use a trigger movement?
I was told by my County coach that it'd be a good move for me when I was maybe 14?.. He brought it into my game and it threw me completely off when in a game situation.. Then whenever I'd try and get away from it, I'd play badly too! I guess this was probably due to a lack of confidence in not doing what the coach was telling me to..
My movement was only small.. I would start with both feet on leg and move my back foot to middle just before the bowlers stride. I always felt stable at the point of delivery it just never seemed to do me any good!
I genuinely believe this particular coach ruined my batting at the time(obviously not on purpose) and therefore my county days as after bringing this in and losing confidence in myself I was soon dropped from the team. (I was the keeper too, and at this age it's not hard to find a similarly skilled keeper)
I've managed to get back into the game now without a trigger movement and am batting well! (it's 6 years later, with a couple of years out the game).
Any thoughts?
