Introduction

I'm honoured to speak with Peter Moores and Chris Marshall in this episode.  

Peter is a former first-class cricketer who played for the England Cricket Team. Peter moved into coaching and was the head coach of the men's England cricket team twice. He was the performance director at the National Academy for England and has coached at three different county clubs: Sussex, Lancashire and now Head Coach at Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club.

Chris has been a sport psychologist for 14 years starting out as a sport psychology intern at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) under the guidance of Dr Pete Lindsay and Dr Mark Bawden. Chris has worked as the sport psychologist for Olympic Table Tennis, Paralympic Table Tennis, GB Boxing, the English FA, and cricket. Chris now works as an independent sport psychologist, spending most of his time between Nottinghamshire CCC and Wasps Rugby Team.

Peter and Chris have forged a fantastic relationship at Nottinghamshire CCC with sport psychology being fully integrated into the coaching practice. We discuss how Peter and Chris work together to create a psychologically informed environment that supports all players and staff.
