‘I want Pakistan fans to feel proud watching their team,’ said Mike Hesson, a retired New Zealand cricketer who is currently the head coach of the Pakistan cricket team.
In a recent episode of the PCB Podcast, Head Coach Mike Hesson shared his coaching philosophy and priorities while discussing his role with the team.
Speaking with Bazid Khan, Hesson emphasized that his primary responsibility is to extract the best performance from the players.
He stated, “As a coach, my philosophy is to first understand the players and then guide them accordingly,” highlighting the importance of building strong relationships with the team members.
Hesson also stressed the need for clarity in communication, asserting that players must know exactly what is expected of them.
To facilitate this, he mentioned that the coaching staff is holding regular meetings to ensure everyone is aligned with the team’s goals.
He expressed his commitment to long-term development, saying, “I’m not here for just six months – I want to build something that lasts. I will continue working with players even outside of tours.”
On matchday management, Hesson expressed his trust in Salman Ali Agha, stating that he refrains from sending repeated messages during games to allow for focused decision-making.
He concluded the podcast by sharing his ultimate desire: “I want the people of Pakistan to enjoy watching their team play and feel proud.”
This sentiment reflects his dedication to not only improving player performance but also enhancing the overall experience for fans.
