Highly recommend SIMPLE Batting and Gio as your coaching academy and coach. They break things into simple parts which gives everyone insight into techniques and how they are applied in the game. Simple but very effective strategies to take your game to the next level.
Last Summer, I completed Batting Prowess training with Simple Batting. I cannot recommend Gio highly enough. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cricketer looking to take your batting skills to the next level, he has the expertise, knowledge, and passion to help you achieve your goals. His true professionalism, guidance and encouragement helped me to gain more confidence at the crease.
I had a great experience and would highly recommend. This is more than a course to improve your batting its an investment in yourself. I found that by fully engaging in the process this helped improve my batting immensely. Also by accessing the support plus online training this not only helped improve my batting but also influenced me greatly in other areas of my life in how to put in the necessary work to achieve my other goals. Many thanks Simple Batting
I came across SIMPLE Batting in 2019 on social media and Gio's knowledge, logic and explanations just made sense in a way no one I have seen has. He places a massive emphasis on keeping things SIMPLE - both with the training of fundamentals and the mental aspect of batting - which is neglected by almost every coach out there. Most coaches tell you do x, do y, do z - but I found Gio was the first coach that actually told me HOW to do it, and how to continuously measure and make rapid progress with small consistent changes combined with simple mental processes. I was able to improve my strike rate massively with simple changes to mindset and how I train. Cricket is so behind in terms of biomechanics and "technique" compared to other bat/racquet sports such as baseball/tennis - but Gio is changing that and it is refreshing to see. Considering what other coaches charge and their expertise compared to Gio - if you're looking for coaching I would say this is a no brainer.
DIY Batting Prowesses Gio is an exceptional coach. The training he has created is built from years of experience. The batting prowesses trading is excellent to reinforce the fundamentals of the game and gives you a tool to remain focused and “Watch the Ball”. After the training I scored a 50 and this was after a while. I also made useful contributions with number of not out innings as I ran out of partners.
This program has assisted me in each department of my cricket mentally, physically and technically.It has helped me challenged myself for more and to understand how to go about your craft and get better at it daily as far as your routines in everyday living. Simple batting has also help me document my progress and how to navigate in different conditions . I think that it’s a no brainer
About a year or 2 ago I came across Gio Colussi's facebook page, Simple batting, unweighing of the bat etc. Now, I have a super talented cricketer, but he didn't score runs and believe me we tried everything, send him to big name coaches, cricket schools, he just wasn't scoring consistently. We knew as parents, it was all between the ears. I could see as a mom he was a fearful batsmen, in the nets he looked better than AB and Faf, but no runs or very little runs on the field...he use to be the batsmen who chirp the bowlers, not at all present in his game.. We decided to give Gio a try, my oh my, what a huge difference it made!! He was a different batsman, completely!! Suddenly he was not scared to get out, he is a very technically correct batsmen, but he used it to score runs, not to keep the ball out the whole time and score 5 from 50 balls, 8 from 80 balls..He actually got 42* from 20 balls, he scored a 53, a 68 etc. He scored more runs in one season, than he scored in his whole High School career. There is still alot of work in progress, but he knows what and how to do it now...Gio, we can't thank you enough..
I recently had the pleasure of working with Gio cricket coach for my son, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. Gio's expertise in batting fundamentals and his ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-do drills is impressive. During our sessions, Gio focused on the fundamental skills of batting, including grip, stance, point of contact and footwork. He emphasized the importance of developing a solid foundation, which I found incredibly helpful. He also introduced us to a range of easy-to-do drills that allowed us to work on skills in a fun and engaging way. What stood out to me the most was Gio's approach to mental conditioning. He helped us understand the importance of mental toughness in cricket and how to develop a positive mindset. Overall, I highly recommend Gio cricket coach to anyone looking to improve their batting skills, especially in batting fundamentals and mental conditioning. His passion for the game and commitment to his students' success make him an exceptional coach. Thank you, Gio, for your invaluable coaching and support!
What resonated with me was finally somebody underatood how i was feeling and the pressures i was putting myself under. Since joining back before the pandemic Gios advice and teachings have been a massive help in my mental and physical game. After my first call with Gio my mindset changed and i hit 89* not out the next day in the southern premier league would have been a big 100 but we got the total we were chasing. Since joining my game has gone from strength to strength and i enhoy batting again and dont feel the pressures or stress i had before. I would certainly recommend joining the group if you are having struggles with your batting as what Gio teaches is bloody brillant and has helped in a massive way.
I undertook the Batting Prowess course after an initial diagnosis with Gio. I saw the result straight away and managed to score a 50 first game after the training which happened to be my first of the 6 fifty plus scores ..it all came after the Batting Prowess training. I wish I had done the training a couple of years back so I would be enjoying the game more. Do yourself a favour if you're stuck in a slump of form and low confidence please reach out to Gio and see the runs score
I enjoyed working with GIO and respected his knowledge and understanding of the game. When he presented information to me I also felt he wasn't forcing it on me he was allowing me to have the knowledge and work for myself. Something I think is very important in a coach. At its heart simple batting focuses on 2 things: 1) Improving/practising the basics of batting by that I mean your (technique/fundamentals) to be more consistent in your ability to better access and contact with the ball. 2) the mental side of batting, helping players either formulate a plan or think about the current ones they have. For me personally I spent a lot of time looking at the differences from when I was playing well to when I wasn't and what I was doing different. Which then allows me now to mentally go into each game in a better place, even keeled and give myself the best opportunity to be consistent.
Worked with Gio last summer and completed the Batting Prowess training. Absolutely transformed my batting and outlook on cricket and the results with the bat were superb. Excellent support throughout the programme and a holistic approach to batting.
I signed up for the SIMPLE 3 step batting process. It was an expensive decision but one that I believe was worthwhile. It immediately helped me in managing the mental side of cricket and helped me to trust myself more and not worry about others. It took away all of the worry I had about the game and made it enjoyable again. Whilst I felt that it would have been beneficial to maybe have a little more reviewing of my technique that would be the only flaw. The techniques Gio uses are incredibly helpful and translate really superbly into games.
I can’t recommend Gio and SIMPLE batting enough. It’s a sure fire process to understanding your batting and then being able to self check and correct. A much better way to practice and then play. Not to mention everything else you learn. I’ve found it to be absolutely invaluable to consistently score runs. I coach this to my players also. It’s simple! I would recommend working with Gio if you’re struggling or even if your not, you will take away something regardless. He’s a very patient caring person. Thankyou!
Simple Batting helped me alot especially with their batting prowess training, I had fears that made me question my own ability and I had negative thoughts that hindered me to play at my best, Gio and his team are a bunch of great people and they have really worked hard to help batsmen reach their full potential, because of Gio I have a possibilty to play cricket after school, because I improved a lot, the batting prowess training makes you a more consistent run scorer and a more consistent person, it gives you clarity in your game and you are, as people would say "in the zone", everytime you walk out to bat. I would really recommend Simple Batting to anyone looking to inprove themselves as a batsmen.
Simple batting has been created by a well renowned cricket batting coach in Gio Colussi. Gio has worked with professional cricketers around the world and uses his analysis to help other professionals and amateurs to unlock their true run scoring potential. Simple batting has a 3 Step Simple batting Process, that is an online coaching tool to help batsmen improve their fundamentals in the way they think, train and play. I cannot recommend this process enough as I have already experienced vast improvements in my own game. Last season I scored 2 centuries having never scored one before, hit over 1000 runs in across all 1 day formats and increased my batting average by over 50%. The process has even helped me overcome form slumps and get back to scoring runs. Once you join the the 3 step SIMPLE process, you have those coaching materials accessible to you in the future to always refer back to as well!
I was sceptical when I first made contact with Gio and thought how can an online coach help a 57 year old with his batting. How wrong I was! At the completion of the 16 week program my technique was amazing being able to hit balls harder and cleaner than ever before. I was also able to access 360 degrees to score. In addition to technique the greatest area of improvement came from using the simple techniques & mindset with the mental side of the game. Gone from my game were the premeditated shots, the fear of failure or the ability to score. Anyone considering investing in their batting would be crazy not to utilise Gio’s program. I wish I had access to this program when I was playing as a junior.
Batting is so much of a mental game, and Gio has figured out a way to mentally enable the batter to focus on their scoring runs. Technique enhancements, mental process and SIMPLE approach are highlights of this coaching. If a batter is serious about improving their skill, they should try this program out.
My son worked with Gio online on both the technical and mental aspects to batting. It was a great experience for him working online in group sessions, sharing experiences and presenting videos of the drills practiced from week to week. Gios approach is suitable for online learning and would certainly recommend it to others.
Simple batting is really a very good program. Gio knows his stuff inside out. It tell you how to keep things simple and stick to the process. It not only teaches the fundamentals of the game but also explains the mental aspect of sport. My elder one trained with Gio in 2021 and younger one started in 2022. We are repeat clients and it is the testament in itself. Gio has helped both my kids and after doing the simple batting program both of them are more confident and consistent in run making. Thanks Gio for helping us out. All the best Gio. Keep helping and supporting the game we all love.
