Mental performance, built for cricket
You know you're a better cricketer
than you're showing.
You train your game for hours. Nobody trains the mind that has to carry it, through pressure, through setbacks, through the questions you ask after a bad day. HeyNik does.

Everything I Know
Video lessons from Nik.
When your mind gets involved, your cricket changes.
You overthink.
You know what you want to do. Then suddenly you're thinking about everything except the ball.
You carry mistakes.
One bad ball becomes three. One dismissal follows you into the next innings.
You play differently under pressure.
The shots you hit in the nets don't always show up when the game matters.
You feel the expectation.
Selection. Scores. Coaches. Parents. Teammates. Your next opportunity.
You know you're capable of more.
And that's what makes it frustrating.
The problem
It's not always your cricket that's the problem.
Pressure changes what your brain pays attention to.
You start playing not to make a mistake instead of playing freely.
You start thinking about the outcome instead of making the decision.
You start feeling this is your last chance to perform.
That's what HeyNik helps you work on.
What HeyNik actually is
Everything Nik Uses. Together.
“This is the same work I do with players one to one, built so it's there whenever you need it. If you want to go further, 1:1 sessions with me are available on demand. Built so every cricketer has access to the kind of support that used to depend on investing in a sports psych.”

The programs
The full Mental Performance Program, built in five stages: Pressure, Flow, Fear, Focus and Inner Circle. Work through it in order, at your own pace.
Coaching when you need it
Tell it what happened, the way you'd tell a teammate. You get the framework Nik would use for that exact problem, and you're walked through it.
Nik, on video
The frameworks, explained by Nik himself, right where you need them. Somewhere to go before a game, after a bad game and when you're stuck.
Your mental game doesn't only matter on game day.
The night before
“What if I fail again?”
Walking out to bat
“Don't throw your wicket away.”
After a bad ball
“Why did I do that?”
After a dismissal
“I knew that was going to happen.”
Three games into a bad run
“Maybe I'm just not good enough.”
Before a trial
“I can't mess this up.”
These are the moments HeyNik is built for.
One method. Five stages.
Work through it in order, or jump to the stage for where you're at right now.
Pressure
Understand what happens to your game when the stakes rise.
Use it: the night before, walking out to bat
Flow
Learn how to get out of your own way and back into the game.
Use it: mid-innings, between deliveries
Fear
Work with the fear of failure, selection, expectation and what comes next.
Use it: before a trial, after a dismissal
Focus
Build something you can return to when your mind pulls you somewhere else.
Use it: three games into a bad run
Inner Circle
Build the player, not just the performance.
Use it: every week, for the long run

Why I built this
Straight From Nik.
Nik BadkundriFounder, HeyNik
I don't think your mental game should depend on whether you can afford to work on it. That's why I built HeyNik: the same work I do with cricketers one on one, now in your pocket.
I've worked with players from club level through to Sheffield Shield and professional ranks, across Australia, the UK, South Africa and India.

FAQ
What People Get Wrong
“It's just AI.”
The truthIt's Nik's actual intelligence, not artificial. Every framework, every question and every answer comes from 10+ years working with cricketers at the highest level. The technology gets it to you the moment you need it. The thinking is Nik's.
“It's generic mental advice.”
The truthIt's the same work Nik does with players one to one, matched to your situation and your level. You get something to do, not just something to think about.
“It's only for elite players.”
The truthIt's built for all. Juniors (13+) through state, franchise and professional players, and it's personalised to your level.
“It only helps on match day.”
The truthIt covers every cricket problem that shows up in your head: the nets, match day, between deliveries, after a bad game and the night before the final.
“It's therapy, or it's not safe.”
The truthIt's coaching for cricket, designed responsibly. It isn't therapy or mental health treatment. If what you share suggests you need more than coaching, it points you to real support.
“There's a catch with the guarantee.”
The truthYou're charged when you sign up. Cancel within your first 14 days and you get a full refund, no questions asked. There's no lock-in after that either.
“It's just another group chat that goes quiet after a week.”
The truthThe Community isn't where HeyNik lives - the app is. It's just where you see you're not the only one working through this. A few times a year it goes further, with a live session where Nik works through what's actually happening for players right now.
