Talking Cricket, Talking Mental Skills: An Interview with Steven Reingold

Tell us what you think of this episode In this episode we talk to Steven Reingold who, in a brief short term pro career managed to be part of the Glamorgan One Day Cup winning side in 2021. Steven's cricketing journey started in the north London club of Stanmore where his father still manages the first XI captained by his brother whilst mum gets involved with making the teas and lots more besides. Via a gap year in his South African homeland he ended up in Cardiff at Cardiff Met where he came to the attention of Glamorgan's 2nd XI set up. Alongside his attempts to get a foothold in the professional game, Steven has pursued his interst in sports psychology and will, this year, complete a masters in the subject. Along with Glamorgan's Kiran Carlson he set up a small business dedicated to, in the words of the organisation, 'sharing experiences and knowledge, educating people on mental skills and challenging others on the mental side of sport. We aim to spread awareness on mental skills in sport and help everyone develop from young athletes and beginner coaches to elite athletes and elite coaches'. Steven talks to us about his love of the game, playing with his Dad and his brother, playing for Glamorgan and where his ideas about mental skills and sport came from and how he sees them in the game of cricket.
