They said you couldn't succeed. Then you found world class coaching to make the most of your talent and proved them all wrong.

That has been the dream of players (and even their coaches). The problem is that world class coaches are hard to find and expensive to employ.

We are pleased to announce the world's most comprehensive online cricket coaching site: PitchVision Academy.

A few months ago we asked you the readers of miCricketCoach what you want to help make you a better player. The overwhelming response was simple: access to high quality coaching and support.

But miCricketCoach readers live all over the world and can't afford to pay a top class coach the vast sums it takes to have personal contact even once a week.

We decided to fill the gap with an interactive online Academy and set to work building it.

To make things easier to understand we have put together a short video on the benefits of taking the Acdemy courses.

Access to elite coaching advice

PitchVision Academy Courses are unique because, for the first time, leading coaches have agreed to reveal their techniques and drills. This is the stuff they usually charge the big money to professional sides. Now you can know it too.

• Derek Randall (Former Test cricketer and current coach at Bedford School)
• Ian Pont (Author of "The Fast Bowler's Bible" and ECB National Skill Sets Coach)
• Gary Palmer (Elite batting coach with experience of several international and county sides)
• Rob Ahmun (Strength and Conditioning coach for Glamorgan CCC)

These are the coaches who have been there. They have coached players of every level from beginner to international. They have tried all the techniques out there, and failed more times that they care to remember. They know for sure what doesn't work and by extension, they know exactly what DOES work.

Now they want to pass their knowledge on to you.

If you paid these coaches for personal sessions they would charge you hundreds of pounds (even more in dollars). PitchVision Academy Courses give you lifetime access to the coaches and their resources for a fraction of the cost of hiring them.

Each course is on a different topic and gives you everything you need to achieve your potential in that area.

The number of course will grow as time goes on. As of today we have available:

• How to use mental training to boost your game
• Improve your batting
• How to play perfect on, off and straight drives
• Fielding: The Derek Randall Way
• How to bowl faster
• Strength and conditioning for cricket at all levels

All you do is enrol on the course and you are given instant lifetime access to all the content on that course. Each course varies but can include: videos, animated drills, downloadable audio, written articles, interactive presentations and printable worksheets.

If a course has extra content added to it in future, you get access to all the updates.

Each course also has a forum for talking to the coaches and other Academy course members and help you keep on track towards you aims.

The courses also tie in perfectly with the PitchVision hardware: the 'hawkeye' style system that gives you detailed feedback on your performance. As you learn on the courses you can use PitchVision to track your improvements be it bowling speed, strike rate or anything else.

Membership of the Academy gives you access to your personal PitchVision data, discounts on the courses and on cricket equipment and even more exclusive content.

What if you need extra support?

Everyone needs support. You are twice as likely to succeed with people around you helping you every step of the way. Academy Courses have been designed to give you just that help.

You can interact with other Academy Course members through the exclusive forums and the coaches will be on hand to answer your questions as they come up. All included in the price and for as many questions you want answered.

Can't you get the same from YouTube or a coaching book?

You could hunt around the web for a few two minute clips and buy a book. You may even motivate yourself enough to follow the tips you discover.

Or you could enrol on a course and get all the answers right in front of you, including drills and methods that have never been put down in a cricket book or video before. This is stuff that will never get out of date like a book can. This is stuff from coaches who have been producing cricketers for years. This is a step-by-step guide to actually doing it for yourself.

PitchVision Academy Courses have also been designed to fit your personal learning style. The trouble with a book is you have to read it. Academy shows you how to do things in different ways depending on how you learn. In many ways it's the next step up from miCricketCoach (which will still be here, and still remain free).

There is nothing like PitchVision Academy if you are serious about improving your game.
