Paddy Upton is not your typical Cricket coach. A deep thinker with four different degrees from four different universities, Paddy actually started as the strength and conditioning coach for the South African cricket team in the mid 90’s under the late Bob Woolmer. However, he soon shifted his focus to mental conditioning and performance mindset, and this change in direction certainly has given Paddy a point of difference in the Cricket coaching world.
Paddy was appointed Mental Conditioning and Strategic Leadership Coach of the Indian cricket team in 2008. Working alongside head coach Gary Kirsten, the Indian team attained the ICC top test team ranking for their first time in 2009, and went on to win the ICC World Cup on home soil in 2011. He was also appointed the Performance Director of the South Africa Cricket Team from 2011 to 2014, who became the first team to simultaneously hold the ICC World number 1 ranking in all 3 formats.
Paddy has coached five different T20 teams in three major leagues, including being the head coach of the Pune Warriors, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL, and also the Sydney Thunder in the BBL, famously taking them from wooden spooners to champions within two seasons.
Author of the best-selling book, “The Barefoot Coach. Life-changing insights from coaching the world’s best cricketers”, Paddy also has comprehensive online mental and personal coaching programs aimed at both elite athletes and coaches that are world class. Find out more at www.paddyupton.com
