Sports Psychologist To Work With Cricketers
The Bermuda Cricket Board has confirmed that Dr. David Scott, a well known Sports Psychologist, is currently in Bermuda, where he will work with the national programmes including the Girls Development Team, U13s, U15s, U19s and both the senior men and women’s teams.
Dr. Scott is an Associate Professor of Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick and is a Sports Psychology for the Montreal Canadien NHL Hockey Team. He has worked as a Sports Psychologist for the West Indies Cricket Team, National Hockey League (ICE) and for numerous other sports teams.
National Coach David Moore said “The primary purpose of Dr. Scott’s work with the Bermuda Cricket Team(s) will be to help the players enhance their performance by improving their mental skills. For any team to be successful we need players to be strong leaders, to be accountable, and to take responsibility for their own and their team’s performance. When players are confident, mentally tough, believe in themselves, believe in a collective vision, and trust their teammates, they look for leadership opportunities, are accountable to themselves and their teammates, and take responsibility for outcomes.”
