Developed by Kirsten himself, the course presents his personal experiences as the head coach of the ICC World Cup winning Team India as well as his tenure as head coach of the Proteas.

“The purpose of this course is to share some of the detail that goes into leading an international cricket team and to provide insight into the inner workings of these teams to empower parents, coaches and business leaders,” Kirsten said.

“People that sign up will also gain insight into why coaches and managers of sports teams value culture over everything else. The course also includes how to deal with difficult individuals, how to give effective feedback and how to build trust within a team environment – all of these are of course also vital skills for businesses across the spectrum from entrepreneurs to large corporate organisations,” Kirsten said.
