PitchVision Academy is delighted to present Kevin Pietersen as the man behind Keep Calm and Smash It, the online batting coaching course.

Revolution is an overused word but if one person personifies revolution it’s KP. And for the first time he is about to revolutionise the way you bat too.

Keep Calm and Smash It is the online batting guide from the England and Delhi Daredevils superstar. Direct from the man himself, you can discover how to emulate his stellar success with the bat.

And there is no one better to show you because, as a youngster, Pietersen was written off as a gentle off spinner who could slog down the order. Despite that tag, he has over 11,000 international runs, has been world number 1 batsman, a Wisden Player of the Year and is a crucial cog in England’s rise to the best team in the world.

The course was filmed on location at KP’s home county of Surrey and features revealing interviews and all-action videos of batting in the nets while the 3 times Ashes winner commentates on his technique, tactics and mental approach.

It’s the first time that the secrets of the International batsman have been demonstrated outside the inner sanctum of Team England. Everyone has seen these methods in action on TV, but now you will learn exactly how to practice them and put them into action, and why they work so well.

If you ever wanted to play the switch hit, or the slap shot, or get an effective trigger move this course is for you.

If you ever wondered how an experienced international player constructs an innings this course is for you.

If you ever wondered how to get through a slump this course is for you.

If you ever wanted bulletproof self-confidence at the crease this course is for you.

To help you with this, the course doesn’t begin and end with videos. This is not some 3 minute YouTube clip you watch and forget. Every aspect of the course has been designed to help you emulate KP by showing you exactly how to practice in your specific circumstances.

Personalised worksheets and online interactions guide you through the maze of options you have when you are working out how to practice. The course even allows you to interact with other enrolees be they your batting buddy from your team or someone from halfway around the world.

Keep Calm and Smash It is the total step-by-step package to batting success and everything you need in inside in one place that you can access from any PC with an internet connection.

The course is available soon, but until then PitchVision Academy is giving away exclusive content from KP both as a taster of what to come in the course and extra advice and tips direct from the man himself that wont ever be published elsewhere.

Cricket has advanced in so many ways in the last 60 years. So why do we still hold onto the same ideas when it comes to classical batting technique? Coaches and players have always called batting a side on game. But I have learned that batting is more front on than side on.
Whatever level of cricket you play, you will recognise the pressure faced by cricketers playing professionally. Tournaments are typified by many games wedged into a short period, but as a player you are expected to be at your peak the whole time.
As a fast bowler it's not all milk and honey in the land of the favourable pitch. The expectation is that you will slice through the top order in no time.
Here is an over-rated phrase: "That shot is straight out of the textbook!" The truth is that in the modern era of cricket we hear it less and less. It's no longer relevant, if it ever was.
No country can consistently produce fast bowlers. Why? It's clearly desirable and clearly possible: the West Indies proved this in the 1980s.
Good cricketers are strong. They may not look like big chested hulks (although some like Kallis, Flintoff and Irfan Pathan come close) but to bowl quick, put revs on the ball or hit the ball hard you need to have strength.
