MBTI: In Elite Cricket
Headingly – October 2013
Kate Green, ECB National Lead Personal Development
Carl Hopkinson, Sussex CCC Club Coach & ECB U19
All that matters is runs & wickets…
• ‘the fact is, sport operates at a different rhythm from normal life.
Its frontiers are more clearly defined by the simple, primary diktats
of victory or defeat…emphasized by the speed at which a career
is over…an entirely self-absorbed pursuit: all that matters is how
well you are doing. When self-esteem is so uncompromisingly
connected to performance, it can quickly and easily be
fractured…’
Jim White, The Telegraph, 16 Jan 2012
“… The significant
problems that we face
cannot be solved by the
same level of thinking
that created them…”
Albert Einstein
So we use MBTI in Cricket to help us
develop and perform better as individuals
and as a team…
- To enable everyone to learn & understand
themselves better
- To understand there’s no right or wrong
nor is it an excuse for doing or not doing
something
- To understand and appreciate differences in
each other, that each person is unique, even if
your MBTI type is the same
To ultimately help
performance…
To help coaches and players
improve their relationships on
and off the field…
To help with interpersonal
skills to enable them to do all
the various parts of their job…
To help them prepare for life after
cricket…eg The EPP Apprentice
To aid team development…
