With the help of his childhoodhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👶" title="Baby" aria-label="Emoji: Baby">coach P Vaughn, Roach started to get back on his feet. They primarily worked on his fitnesshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏋️‍♂️" title="Man lifting weights" aria-label="Emoji: Man lifting weights">to get him into a good frame of mind. Once that was accomplished, they moved on to make some technical changeshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol"> & most importantly his approach to bowling

After analysing his bowling clipshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📽️" title="Filmprojektor" aria-label="Emoji: Filmprojektor">from 2015 they found that Roach tended to fall away in his bowling action making his wrist position go awry compromising on both pacehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete">and movementhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌈" title="Regenbogen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenbogen">. Also he leapthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐎" title="Pferd" aria-label="Emoji: Pferd">a little more in his jump before the pre delivery stride.
We can infer from the 1st pichttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖼️" title="Bilderrahmen mit Bild" aria-label="Emoji: Bilderrahmen mit Bild">how his head, body & wrist are off balancehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚖️" title="Waage" aria-label="Emoji: Waage">compared to the 2nd pic from 2019. This change enabled proper transfer of energy & helped him with his controlhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎛️" title="Drehknöpfe" aria-label="Emoji: Drehknöpfe">& movement. He also cuthttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✂️" title="Schere" aria-label="Emoji: Schere">down his pace and started to rely more on control & subtle skills.
Vaughn fed a lot of storieshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📔" title="Notizbuch mit verziertem Umschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Notizbuch mit verziertem Umschlag">to Roach about how M Marshall used to decimate the opposition with his craft more than his pacehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete">. Inspired by these stories, Roach adopted the old but effective method of making the batsman playhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏏" title="Cricketschläger und Ball" aria-label="Emoji: Cricketschläger und Ball">. This approach helped him to be more consistent.
