Success Stories
Amanda Hirst
"He has coached my daughter on a one-to-one basis and also as a team coach for about 2 years. He has consistently demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and outstanding empathy. Mat has exceptional communication skills and adapts his style to each player, their needs and personality. He is a whole person coach, what I mean by this is if the player is struggling mentally or physically, he has strategies to enable to overcome their challenges on and off the pitch. He has improved my daughters playing style, skills and confidence. He gives every player 100%"

"I had the privilege of coaching alongside Coach Mat during junior training sessions whilst I was overseas professional at Welbeck Cricket Club. Mat has an incredible way with the juniors. His planning of the sessions was always impeccable. He manages to keep the kids engaged throughout and always manages to teach them to have fun in every session. I also was lucky enough to receive Coaching from him and what stood out to me during the sessions was his willingness to work hard as well as his ability to work together with a senior player in order to make improvements and grow their game. His Coaching comes highly recommended."

"Over the last 2 years Mat's expert technical knowledge and passion for coaching has improved my son's batting, bowling and fielding techniques. Mat has also helped improve his confidence and is helping him develop a resiliant and positive mindset. During 1:1 and group coaching sessions he balances the requirment for 100% commitment and effort with support and encouragement, but always matches this with a 100% effort and commitment in his coaching. His interaction with my son is a supportive one and he continually shows a desire for him to do well. My son enjoys every coaching session. As parents, he keeps us informed and provides continual feedback on our son's progress. He is always approcahable for us to ask questions or advice."

"My 14 year old son has made incredible progress since joining MJR Cricket Coaching. The improvement in his cricketing ability has been clear to see, but what has impressed us most is the huge boost in his confidence. Mat has helped him develop both technically and mentally, giving him the belief to back his abilities and perform with confidence in training and matches. His batting, game awareness, and overall understanding of cricket have all improved significantly, and he now approaches every game with a much more positive mindset. The coaching is professional, supportive, and tailored to each player’s individual needs. Mat creates an environment where cricketers can learn, develop, and enjoy the game, which has had a tremendous impact on my son. I am extremely grateful for the dedication, encouragement, and expertise Mat provides. Seeing my son grow in confidence and his enjoyment of cricket soar has been fantastic, and we would highly recommend MJR Cricket Coaching to any player looking to improve their game."
