Testimonials
We get a lot of positive feedback from parents about our junior coaching programs. Here are a just a few examples:
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr Peter Wooden for approximately 3 months. Peter is my sons personal and group session cricket coach at the Kowloon Cricket Club, Hong Kong. In the short time I have known Peter, I have been very, very impressed by his technical knowledge and depth of understanding in modern cricket coaching techniques. I believe Peters teaching background enables him to very effectively apply principles of instruction in such a way that the student is able to benefit to the highest level possible during his tuition. Peter has an abundant level of enthusiasm that is infectious towards his students. He has a rare gift of naturally inspiring young cricketers to strive for their best. Peter is very professional, while maintaining a personable character. I am convinced that a coach of Peters ability would be an asset to any professional cricket training organization. I personally wish Peter the absolute best in his future, I have no doubt that he will earn great praise from any future employer. "
- Martin Rollason, Father of Junior KCC Cricketer "Our son had been in Sydney for two months training with Peter Wooden. We visited him a few weeks ago and were very impressed with the set-up there. The coaching is of a high standard and each cricketer has been given individual attention. Our son is very clear about where his strengths lie and what areas of his game can be worked on. The environment is very positive, understanding and encouraging. He has bowled in the practice nets to both the South African and New Zealand national squads. What a fantastic opportunity! We travelled to practice sessions with the boys and what was very clear was that they had developed a great team spirit through Peter and appreciated the importance of playing as a team and supporting each other. The coaches were charming and welcoming when we went to one of the matches. It was clear that they were totally committed to improving the boys' skills and expected them to work hard in return. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter Wooden’s Coaching. It has been a fantastic opportunity for our son. His understanding of and confidence in his cricket has grown and he has gained experience in independent living in a beautiful city."
- Liz Brock - Mother of Scotland Under-19 Cricketer, Andrew Brock "Peter Wooden impressed me with his enthusiasm, professionalism and ability to work with different levels of players from the enthusiastic developers to the aspiring professionals. As a technical adviser his knowledge and insight into batting and spin bowling in particular were invaluable to my own success. I would have no hesitation recommending Peter as a cricket coach and mentor. He knows the game and how to bring out the best in players!"
- Fraser Watts, Scotland International (138 caps to date) "Peter Wooden exhibits tremendous leadership skills, he is very honest and he is a very dedicated and determined man. He has a sound understanding of the time management skills required to be a successful coach and he is thoroughly organised. He has an excellent rapport in the community as a talented and committed Professional Coach."
- Darry Davidson, Level III National Coaching Certificate, NSWCA State Coaching Panel "There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that every player who was coached by Peter Wooden improved his game technically and mentally, immeasurably. He has a delightful and encouraging way of coaching cricket with excellent communication skills making it easy for the players to understand the point he is making. His drills are always innovative (a real strength of his) and his ability to spot technical faults and apply the remedy was very advanced. He worked tirelessly to improve the player's game and their technical skills, and was an inspiration to them. There is no higher commendation than to say that all the players really enjoyed working with him, and made a very real advance in their individual game."
