Too many talented players are coached the wrong way, focusing on short-term gains. When they reach higher levels, their game isn’t ready. This shouldn’t happen. We build players without barriers, preparing them for every challenge ahead.

My Story

I’ve always been driven by a love for sport, which led me to a unique career path as both a professional cricketer and footballer. From playing top-level football with Brighton & Hove Albion, to competing in first-class cricket with and Sussex CCC and Hampshire CCC, I gained a deep understanding of what it takes to perform at the highest levels.

But looking back, I often think: If I knew what I know now, my game would have been different. That realisation led me to coaching—because I wanted to be the coach I wish I had when I was playing.

After years of experience across grassroots, professional cricket, and high-performance setups in England, India, and Australia, I’ve made it my mission to guide players with the right tools, advice, and mindset to reach their full potential.

My Mission

At Joe Gatting Cricket Coaching, our mission is simple: to develop adaptable, high-IQ cricketers who thrive in any format of the game. We provide a structured coaching pathway, empowering players to become technically sound, mentally resilient, and game-ready.

We’re committed to teaching the skills and mindset that last a lifetime, ensuring players not only improve their cricket but also grow as individuals. Whether it’s through personalized 1:1 coaching or our academy system, we focus on creating players who are ready for whatever challenges come their way.

My Method

Our method is built on long-term success—we don’t just focus on quick fixes; we build habits that stick.

  1. Technical Mastery
    We help players develop efficient, repeatable techniques that are effective across all formats, ensuring they can generate power and maintain balance.

  2. Tactical Intelligence
    It’s not just about skills; it’s about game awareness and decision-making. We teach players to recognise situations, play smart cricket, and read the opposition effectively.

  3. Mental Resilience
    Cricket’s a game of pressure. We focus on building mental strength, helping players perform under stress, stay confident, and embrace challenges.

  4. Individualised Coaching
    Every player is different, so we tailor our coaching to each individual’s strengths and areas for growth. We focus on personalised development and provide guidance that optimises performance and minimises injury risk.
