'My personal experiences have made me a better coach'
In a lengthy interview with the Guardian's Donald McRae, Mark Ramprakash discusses his move into coaching and the progress made by England's young players over the summer
"When I came in we just had Micky Stewart as head coach - there was no batting coach, no psychologist. I made my Test debut in 1991 and it wasn't until 1998 that I bumped into the sports psychologist Steve Bull. There was a significant shift in my career from that point on. He gave me a way to structure my thoughts and handle my emotions. I had struggled in Test cricket because I worried about too many things. But those personal experiences have made me a better coach."
