Discovering consistent run scoring

My son really enjoyed the simple batting course and I cannot recommend it highly enough From the first diagnostic call with Gio it was very hands on and he and his team really understand the art of batting The online approach is great with the drills and feedback calls that are designed to work on the fundamentals of batting whilst allowing you to improve your technique and your stroke play The initial part of the training focused on mastering bat flow as a key fundamental before working through key strokes that has allow my son to now have confidence to access scoring shots 360 degrees Gio approach and twice weekly feedback calls made sure that we didn t move on to the next drill or stroke until you had mastered the last one The online nature of the course also allows for self reflection and gives you a great understanding of batting fundamentals that allow for self-diagnostics The 3 month program also focuses on the mental aspect of batting that allows to you understand and accept that sometimes you get a good ball and to move on During the course I witnessed my son develop techniques to remove the outside noise coaches opposition selection and personal pressure and allow him to find his own batting zone that allowed him to find his own peak batting state to freely score runs To provide a little more context I have personally seen a significant change in my sons approach that has seen him transform from a reluctant opening batsman to a confident opener that has twice this season hit sixes of the first ball of the game and once a four This approach and newfound self-belief has also allowed him to confidently leave every ball in his first 4 overs and not let the scoreboard dictate how he plays the next ball His scoring rate has improved significantly with clean striking and all-round stroke play Do yourself a favour if you or a family member is stuck in a slump of form and low confidence I would recommend that you reach out to Gio for a chat

The best investment I ve made

Gio makes batting very simple and his simple approach of training fundamentals instead of technique makes batting enjoyable and easy

Gio can help anyone

Started working with Gio just before the 2022 season after having 5 seasons as an opening bat unable to pass 200 season runs I d always been able to bat long but had a really low strike rate around 30-50 and struggled to score even off bad balls I d only ever scored 2 fifties and both were in the 2017 season I d got into the 40s a couple of times but never reached 50 I had terrible problems with nerves both before batting and once I d gone out to bat and couldn t concentrate on the ball for fear of being dismissed The online 3 step SIMPLE Batting Process was great easy to understand and implement in bite size pieces The methods Gio has devised to quieten the mind to allow concentration on scoring are brilliant and exactly what I was looking for The week on week video calls to discuss the previous week s match outcomes and learning were awesome and it was great to listen to others and learn from them how to improve Gio s enthusiasm is clear to see straight away and I saw results in my first game after starting work My strike rate was through the roof up to 93 and I felt relaxed at the crease I hit two fours in my first over which is unheard of for me and my team mates all said how much better I looked In my third game of the season I scored by first unbeaten 50 for five years to see the team home and 2 weeks later scored my maiden 1st XI 50 in a tricky run chase I then made 33 14 and 20 followed by another 33 and a 50 for my brothers club Low scores no longer affected my confidence because I learnt from each dismissal I finished the season with 373 runs which is my season highest for league games with 3 fifties and in the games I reached double figures a strike rate of around 85-90 There s still work to be done but I feel really confident for the coming season at a new club Having the tools to stay consistent in how I think and how I train helped to give purpose to every training session I was able to shut out the noise from helpful team mates giving suggestions and stayed consistent with my processes This allowed me assess dismissals to find out what was causing my dismissal and if it was a good ball it was a good ball and there was nothing I could do Enjoyed cricket more than I have in years and can t wait for this season Massive thanks to Gio for all the help I couldn t have done it without you

Exceptional Cricket Coach Gio s Expertise in Batting Fundamentals and Mental Conditioning Impresses

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gio cricket coach for my son and I must say it was an incredible experience Gio s expertise in batting fundamentals and his ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-do drills is impressive During our sessions Gio focused on the fundamental skills of batting including grip stance point of contact and footwork He emphasized the importance of developing a solid foundation which I found incredibly helpful He also introduced us to a range of easy-to-do drills that allowed us to work on skills in a fun and engaging way What stood out to me the most was Gio s approach to mental conditioning He helped us understand the importance of mental toughness in cricket and how to develop a positive mindset Overall I highly recommend Gio cricket coach to anyone looking to improve their batting skills especially in batting fundamentals and mental conditioning His passion for the game and commitment to his students success make him an exceptional coach Thank you Gio for your invaluable coaching and support

From hanging up to rekindled love for Cricket

The winter chill had seeped into my cricket like frost on a dropped catch Years of mediocre scores and Saturday morning blues had me contemplating hanging up my whites for good I was drowning in self-doubt my average mirroring the murky depths Then fate disguised as a phone call with Gio intervened At forty with a track record of failure I was hesitant But something in Gio s voice that quiet confidence rekindled a spark I signed up a leap of faith in the face of skepticism does online batting coach work from even my closest mates But Gio wasn t about fancy drills or exotic nets He went straight for the root of the problem my mind Those mental modules were like a psychological spring cleaning tossing out the negative thoughts that had cluttered my thinking Week by week my technique transformed Gio s feedback was like sandpaper smoothing out the rough edges Remember that 88 The one that smashed my ten-season best to smithereens It was just eight weeks in a testament to the magic Gio was working And the hunger grew pushing me to train harder sessions multiplying like rabbits after a rainy day And then came the 29th of July We were staring down a mountain of runs 390 to be precise But for the first time doubt wasn t my teammate Gio s voice echoed in my head urging me to believe The runs flowed each one a brick laid in the foundation of my 134 We lost but that innings Pure magic and it wouldn t have happened without Gio But I wasn t satisfied Scoring wasn t enough I wanted to win The next week another century 118 not out this time unbeaten sealed the victory The season ended with 600 runs the Club President s Bat a heavy but sweet reminder of my journey This wasn t just about the runs lads It was about rediscovering the joy of the game the thrill of defying limitations Gio didn t just coach me he rekindled the fire within So if you re feeling lost on the pitch remember my story Remember Gio Remember the phoenix within you is waiting to rise And who knows maybe you ll be writing your own success story next
