The experience behind Ben’s coaching
Ben’s coaching journey includes leading the England Physical Disability Squad, batting coaching for professional players across the UK, and pathway roles at Yorkshire CCC and Leicestershire CCC. These experiences have given him a clear understanding of what helps players progress from club to professional environments.
He works closely with players to optimise practice, strengthen decision-making, and develop effective pre-game routines. His approach is flexible and player-centred, adapting to each individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
