Cricket coach needed to transform WI team

We need a cricket coach who is willing to spend the majority of his time working on the West Indian cricketers’ mental strength and getting the players to perform at a much higher level.

We need to hire a coach that has a proven track record of being able to turn losers into winners.

This is something that will be truly remarkable to witness.

This is what truly great leaders do. Like General Patton of World War II who transformed his army divisions into effective fighting forces.

Leaders who make remarkable things happen without the long list of excuses explaining why it could not be achieved.

We need a coach who we can trust with taking full control of the team, increasing the amount of time spent on the training field and who understands the importance of playing veterans over rookies.

Our next coach must be dedicated to the sport of cricket, hard work, and possess a clear vision of what he wants to achieve in a short space of time and is a mastermind at turning losers into winners.

Leaders who turn their teams into winners are not always popular.

They are changing the status quo and people like where they are even if they are not living up to their potential.

We are sick and tired of leaders who are more willing to go with the flow rather than make the necessary changes for the better.

Cricket West Indies must give our next coach plenty of authority to make the necessary changes to make us into a force to be reckoned with. People like the coach we need are special leaders.

They have a very dedicated and loyal staff that enables their leader’s strengths beyond what could normally be done. That same staff helps improve any leadership weaknesses.

An experienced, tough, no-nonsense coach is key to the West Indies team’s success, much like Patton’s chief of staff who drove them to meet Patton’s tough will.

We need an innovator of cricket tactics and a motivator of cricket players. Like the conquering generals of ancient history, we need someone who is best at winning with mediocre teams and limited resources.
