GMB Technical Cricket Coaching
ECB Level 3 Advanced Cricket Coach
My name is Graham Merritt-Blann, and I work with aspiring Cricketers of all ages based in West Sussex. We focus on making the players more powerful and technically proficient than ever before. Technical Cricket coaching is all about the player and how to help them improve in any area of the game. From the smallest area of your game to the whole area of your game. The best interests of the player to have a safe and injury free time playing the game, they love at any level. I believe in training hard to be able to play easy. While competing with sportsmanship.
The Ethos
GMB Technical Cricket Coaching is to know the player as an individual and to understand and cater for the areas of their game that they wish to develop and improve. The player will be the key focus of each session with feedback being provided in order that there is continual improvement and development for their next session.

The whole programme will start of with a chat for the coach to get to know you the player as well as the player to get to know the coach.
