Despite loving the game of ricket from a very young age Henry didnt think he was great at it or anything else until he realised he was good with people.

He now really loves coaching with Surrey and with In Touch Cricket Academy from which he has developed his own philosophy for coaching:

1. Physical: transfer your weight as a batter staying strong and balanced

2. Meta physical: absorb every failure and decide how you will respond

3. Resilience: rid ourselves of false beliefs and re-frame!

He enjoys bringing positive energy to each session + keeping things simple.
