Coaching Bio
I am a recent Australian U19 Bowling all rounder, who has represented QLD in pathway teams from U15's through to U19's. I have a passion in helping all athletes improve their cricketing ability and overall skills.
I have recently represented Australia in an Under 19 Cricket Youth Series against England. I was fortunate enough to also be selected in the Australian Squad for the 2020 ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup. Over my time playing representative cricket , I have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to some exceptional coaches with a wealth of knowledge on the game. As a coach, I draw heavily upon my previous experiences and conversations that I have had with these coaches and mentors. My personal experience with cricket coaching has been based primarily around helping out junior programs, teams and individuals at my cricket club, Toombul DCC. I have found throughout my journey that each and every athlete is slightly different in the way they approach the game. I find coaching to be an extremely rewarding experience and I particularly enjoy being able to watch the athletes mature and grow as cricketers.

My daughter had her first session with Tom today, Tom quickly picked some of the flaws with her bowling and action and corrected them. Will be looking at booking future sessions with him.

Tom is a fantastic coach. Spots weaknesses very quickly. Lots of sound practical tips that work. Very patient, friendly and gives most helpful answers to questions.
