Welcome to the ICM Mentorship Programme
Welcome to the ICM Mentorship Programme, a comprehensive and holistic approach to developing cricketers of the future. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, our programme focuses on six key elements: Technical, Emotional, Tactical, Mental, Physical, and Lifestyle. Under the guidance of ECB certified coaches and former International cricketers, our dedicated mentors work closely with each player, providing personalised support and guidance to unlock their full potential.
Pillars of Success
The ICM Mentorship Programme's "Six Pillars of Success"—Technical, Tactical, Mental, Physical, Lifestyle, and Emotional—form a holistic framework that guides the comprehensive development of each player.
