Are You Ready to Redefine Your Sporting Journey, Unlocking the Power of Your Mind?
Sport is a big part of the Islanda story as we all participate in, and support, various sports including cricket, netball, golf, cycling, hockey, skiing, and other activities at different levels.
We launched a YouTube channel, Sanderstead CCTV, about grass roots cricket centred around our local club, Sanderstead, where Dan has been involved for over 30 years and where two of our children, James & Lucy, are carrying on the tradition.
If you are involved in sport you will understand how important fitness, technique, skills, practice and nutrition are to your performance and your chances of winning.
More recently, however, the focus has shifted to how mastering our minds can improve performance.
Mind training for sports teams and individuals is hailed as the next frontier in sports performance improvement and, in conjunction with clubs like Sanderstead CC, we are developing a pioneering sports mastermind programme.
Sanderstead CC TV
Top quality club cricket videos featuring Sanderstead Cricket Club, among others. We bring you videos of the kind of cricket that you might play yourself – we leave coverage of the professional game to others so we can focus on club cricket. With this channel, you can follow the ups and downs of an English cricket team playing in the Surrey Championship, and you can get to know the players on and off the pitch. For a lighter look at the “village” side of cricket, we also bring you highlights from our Sunday XI and other clubs that play classic village cricket on lovely grounds, with decent beer! We hope you enjoy this unique look at English cricket and welcome any feedback as to what you would like to see…
“Loving the videos. Cricket is my life and this channel is a big part of it. Keep it up!”

“I love your videos so much, your commentary is amazing and they also help me play good shots in cricket matches!”
Zack Warne, Sanderstead CCTV subscriber
What if we told you...
Emotions can be used to improve your performance.
- Do you ever feel anxious about being able to perform in the moment, especially under pressure?
- Do you ever get triggered by situations, opponents, or even your own team mates, causing you to react?
- Do you keep ruminating about a poor performance or result, feeding your self-doubt?
- You know you can perform better, you’re great in training sessions, and yet you don’t perform consistently, or optimally, in game play situations
IT’S TIME TO CHANGE…
and we can help
