I try to take everything in and get the most out of it. As you can imagine, when you are consuming hundreds of pages, it becomes impossible to remember everything. I advise you all to grab a highlighter and a pen, and whenever you come across a sentence, paragraph or section ooff the book that sticks out to you, mark it. Then check what page number your marking is on, go to the blank pages at the start and write the number along with a word to describe why your marking is important to you. It could be “fitness”, “technique” or anything recognisable to you. There may come a time when you desperately nneeeedd to remind yourself of something you read in the book and instead of trying to find it, refer to your markings. If you own the eBook, grab a blank piece of paper or use a notes app on your phone and do the same.

Being a professional cricketer for almost 10 years and being able to bowl more than 90mph being two of them. MMyy ccaarreeeerr hhaass ttaakkeenn mmee aallll oovveerr tthhee wwoorrlldd.. II hhaavvee shared changing rooms with the biggest names in cricket. Played in some of the most iconic stadiums on the planet and bowled spells where I've felt unplayable. As I stand here today, I realise that for 99% of us, this is a dream, not a reality. SSiinnccee meeting Shahbaz and joining Pace Journal, my eyes have opened to the passion, curiosity and pain that is experienced by people from all walks of life who strive to improve and chase their dream to bowl fast. TThhiiss book gave me great insight on Shahbaz's personal journey and experiences, and I have no doubt that at least something will resonate with you. There are many potential pitfalls out there in the world of cricket and fast bowling, no matter what level you play at. 8 Foreword by Tymal Mills What you shall read from here on will hopefully help you navigate your journey that little bit more smoothly. SSoo,, while you may not be as fortunate to follow the path that I have walked, always remember why you play this game that we all love and the joy that it brings to millions of people all over the world.
