Tales of the Autistic Village...

Josh Williamson

Tales of the Autistic Village Cricketer is the neurologically ‘different’ slant of eye-opening, blunt and frankly, funny collection of completely true memoirs that have happened in my cricketing life. Starting from 2003, it initially outlines myself as a young cricketer, and how autism affected my participation; often with chuckle-inducing results! From the humorous stories involving our Margate junior skipper, Ollie Robinson of Sussex CCC fame, to abjectly refusing to remove my footwear as I entered the Horsham pavilion, and being jovially mocked due to my compelling urge of forcing a fart and sniffing the ball before bowling! But crucially, by publishing the story of my life through this cricketing lens, it gives a frank re-telling of how cricket, and the friends met solely through it, has given a socially difficult high-functioning autistic, the chance to experience life as it is intended. From the awkward opening partnership with Zak Crawley, to my first visit to a crowded nightclub and subsequently passing out, my ‘blunt and to the point’ discussion with a stripper, and the hilarious events that transpired when I lost my virginity!

The Mental Toughness Playbook -...

Emmanuel Drake

Every parent dreams of seeing their young athlete thrive—but what happens when performance pressure starts stealing their love of the game?
When traditional coaching methods failed to address his own child's competition anxiety, Emmanuel Drake knew there had to be a better way. Drawing from cutting-edge sports psychology research, he developed an effective system that transforms how young athletes think, compete, and grow—both on and off the field.
The Mental Toughness Playbook bridges the gap between complex psychological concepts and practical application for developing minds. Through simple yet powerful techniques, including mindfulness, visualization, and strategic self-talk, young athletes learn to conquer pregame nerves, bounce back from setbacks, and build unshakeable resilience that extends far beyond the scoreboard.
This isn't about pushing kids harder—it's about equipping them with the mental tools to embrace challenges, view mistakes as stepping stones, and maintain their passion for sports while reaching their full potential. Each strategy can be implemented in just 5-10 minutes and seamlessly integrates with existing training routines.
Whether your child is just starting out or competing at elite levels, these proven methods will help them develop the resilient mindset and emotional awareness that creates champions in sport and life.
