Mike Hesson, the Director of Cricket Operations for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), believes that the majority of learning within the team happens outside the playing arena. He added that this can happen when players build trust within themselves about having honest conversations.
"If you build trust with players that they can have those honest conversations with each other as well, I think we've got a group where a lot of the learning happens off the park. If you can help build that environment where it's a learning environment but not always a coaching environment, where the subtle conversations that are happening all around us are probably the most valuable," said Hesson on 'RCB Podcast'.
Hesson shed light on how the youngsters in the side can take advantage of the learning environment through listening to stalwarts like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. "That only happens when people aren't constantly worried about their own spot or worried about themselves. I think that's where you can gain an advantage, that shared knowledge.
