WITH DATA AND
EXPERT GUIDANCE

We use the world's best technology to thoroughly analyse your bowling action and provide you with immediate feedback to expedite your learning in becoming a faster and more robust pace bowler.

Why is in-person coaching so successful?

1. Faster Learning & Improvement

With immediate feedback on bowling speed, run-up speed, and bowling technique, you can quickly determine what methods you need to follow that meet the overarching scientific principles to bowl faster and safer.

2. Freedom to "Play & Learn"

Simon will show you the various methods to bowl faster and safer, but ultimately, you need the freedom to work through these methods (or to discover your own) to determine which one feels the best for you and results in superior performance.

3. Your Journey is Documented

A training log and video library is kept on the techniques that were the most successful and least successful, so you maximise your ability to bowl faster and safer by sticking to the methods that have worked for you.

How does in-person coaching work?

What do players and coaches say about Simon's coaching?

"On the back of coming to the end of my career, I looked to drag the last few ounces out of myself. I planned to play one final season and retire on a positive note.

I sought out Simon's expertise from a biomechanical and physical development perspective and we made some tweaks to my bowling action and put some structure around gym, conditioning and speed work, as well as mobility.

As a result, I regained the pace I had when I was younger and I put together two seasons which yielded me a first grade bowling award in arguably the strongest district bowling attack in Australia.

I could not recommend Simon's services more; his attention to detail, personalised approach, and love for fast bowling is second to none."

"In 2018, I suffered a serious knee injury which threw a spanner in the works for my career and development. After rehab and recovery, my bowling was not the same and I was hungry to bowl and play the same way I had in the past.

I reached out to Simon for his expertise on bowling biomechanics and physical preparation. Simon’s technical knowledge and bowling action analysis was the best I’ve ever experienced, even with national and international coaching. Simon’s gym and sprint program gave me a strong physical platform to spring off.

I owe an enormous amount to Simon. Without his help and guidance I would not have reached my goals. I cannot recommend him or his program highly enough. After working with him, I was fortunate enough to be awarded the Alan Wilson medal (for player of the series) at Nationals, and was named player of the final in the 2022 Indoor Cricket World Cup final that we won against New Zealand."

“Our players have developed greatly with Simon’s tutorage of the physical conditioning required for fast bowlers and his work on their technique has seen some big improvements in our junior players.

Simon provided drills and assistance with bowler’s run ups; pre-delivery jump; back-leg landing; front-leg landing; ball release; and follow through, as well as mentoring on recovery.

A resource booklet Simon provided to our participants was brilliant and is a valuable resource to any pace bowler.

We are grateful to Simon for his involvement in our Cricket Victoria programs.”

“I have used Simon's services as a specialist fast bowling coach for junior and senior players over the last couple of years. The scientific basis for his knowledge mixed with his thoughtful and specific application in the training environment has led to significant improvement in our fast bowling group.

His organisation and training setup is exceptional with the players being constantly challenged with new ideas and approaches over the entirety of the session.

Simon is one of the few fast bowling coaches who because of his educational background has been able to marry biomechanical and physiological principles with the technical and tactical part of fast bowling.

On top of this, his boundless enthusiasm and love for the art of fast bowling is contagious and always leaves his participants keen for more of his time.”
