England have just returned from India after a chastening 4-1 defeat. After getting off to a winning start, many believed that England could do something which they hadn't been done in over 10 years. Unfortunately it didn't pan out that way and it handed Ben Stokes and Brendan McCullum their first loss as Englands leadership team. Peter Sim entered the England test fold in the Autumn of 2022, just before England's first away series in Pakistan in over a decade. His role as the physical preparation coach has seen him work with individuals and the team across this period. Peter very kindly opened up his perspective of an exciting England dressing room. He talks about the secrets which keep a 40+ year old Jimmy Anderson firing, who his training differs from player to player and also what it is like to tour an intense country like India for such a long time. With England playing some of the most entertaining and exciting cricket we've seen in the last 5 years, it is an incredible time to be able to hear so much about what makes the players tick. Peter started his role out working in rugby and he enlightens me about his perspective in this industry and how despite the games being very different there are many similarities a physio can take between them. This episode is a must for all England cricket fans out there but also for those who are interested in the Personal Training side of things. A thoroughly enjoyable episode and we can't thank Peter enough for giving up his time barely off the plane back from India! It goes without saying that we wish Peter and the entire England team the best of luck for what is going to be an extremely busy summer for them! Learn more about your ad choices.
