CURVA Coach understands exactly what Wicketkeeper demands physically. Your programme is built around those demands — not a generic template.
Get my CoachThe four physical qualities that define performance at this position — and why they matter.
Wicketkeepers maintain a deep squat position for hours on end — one of the most demanding physical requirements of any position in any sport. Lower body strength and endurance, particularly through the quads, glutes and hips, are the priority of the programme.
Diving takes and sharp lateral movements require explosive agility and fast reactions. The programme develops lower body power, reactive speed and the lateral quickness needed to reach balls that would beat less athletic keepers.
Taking quick bowling and pace consistently across long periods of play requires wrist, forearm and shoulder resilience. The programme includes specific upper body work to build the durability needed to handle volume without injury.
Test cricket demands that wicketkeepers maintain concentration and physical standards across multi-day matches. The aerobic and physical conditioning base built through the programme ensures that performance doesn't drop across long stints behind the stumps.
A Wicketkeeper doesn't need the same programme as a Batter. CURVA Coach builds around the specific demands of your position — then layers in your schedule, your body and any niggles you're carrying.
Every two weeks, your coach reviews your progress and updates your programme. It adapts across pre-season, in-season and recovery so you're always doing the right work at the right time.
And if you have questions — about movement, nutrition, an injury niggle — your coach is available 24/7 in the app.
