Why work with Julian Wyatt

Coaching that works on technique and the mind.

Most cricket coaching focuses on what your front foot is doing. Mine starts with you — how you think under pressure, how you reset after a bad ball, how you make decisions when the game gets tight — and brings the technical work in around that.

“Technique is part of the game — not the game. The person is the key, and has to be the focus.” — My coaching philosophy, in one sentence.

A bit of context

The career behind the coaching.

Forty years in cricket means a lot of names, places and lessons. Here's the spine of it — the parts that explain why I coach the way I do, and why founders trust me to help them through immersive sports-tech bets.
