About Me

From the crease to the coaching line

I played first-class cricket for six seasons before moving into full-time academy coaching. That playing experience shapes everything I teach — especially the mental game, which most junior coaching skips entirely.

My sessions are built around repetition with purpose: correct grip and stance before power, footwork before six-hitting, and match-reading before captaincy.
