Here is what they have to say about me!
Here is what they have to say about me!
Jack is one of the best blokes I know! I was lucky to play with and against Brooksy and I would definitely rather play with him!! The skills and knowledge of the game are second to none and would definitely recommend him to all.

I was fortunate enough to work with Jack Brooks at Yorkshire 2013-2016 having recruited him from Northamptonshire.
His energy and enthusiasm were very infectious and he played an important role in cultivating a winning culture at the club through his desire to always look to improve and get better. He worked with his teammates and support staff to get the very best out of everybody. A fantastic team man and a delight to coach.
Jack is now transitioning into coaching and his dedication and enthusiasm will rub off on all the players under his care.
He has a strong grasp of the tactical and technical sides of bowling and also has the understanding of the challenges that bowlers face day to day so he will be able to provide great support and empathy to all the players he works with.

HEAD COACH OF SOUTH AUSTRALIAN & ADELAIDE STRIKERS
I worked with Brooksy during the winter for Western storm and found it really easy to work well together. He has a lot of knowledge from playing the game himself and was very approachable.
Our sessions were great, he challenged me to be better and I felt fully supported throughout. Brooksys experience playing meant his tactical knowledge was excellent, which created really good conversations between me and him and also with other bowlers, sharing our thoughts and ideas. I really enjoyed working with Brooksy and hopefully can do more work together in the future.

Brooksy was phenomenal with me throughout the time I spent playing along side him. Having opened the bowling with him during my professional debut, he helped me manage my nerves and was always there to speak to thereafter. I’ve missed not having him around but he’s still been there for me to lean on for advice as well as helping put me in touch with other high class coaches to discuss things with. I can wholeheartedly recommend Brooksy as a coach and mentor and if he provides half as much support to others as he has to me, then those players will be in a very good place.

I absolutely loved my time with Jack. He was tremendous fun to be around. I found Jack to be a caring and selfless helper who’d constantly offer advice and give up time to delve into the depths of bowling and batting. I appreciate everything he helped me with.

Transitioning from a very successful professional playing career to coaching is a natural progression for Jack who will draw from his extensive experiences and knowledge to support and guide others on their journey.
He understands people require an individualised approach that matches their needs, and alongside his knowledge of the game, his incredible gift to connect, have fun, build rapport and trust quickly with people will enhance a cricketer’s ability to develop their game

DIRECTOR OF CRICKET AT SOMERSET CCC
Brooksy has been such a massive help for me during the beginning of my career. He has so much knowledge about the game and how to get the best out of yourself. He has been such a help for me during my time playing with him to float ideas around and give critical advice at the right times

Jack is not only excellent company, engaging and incredibly kind and considerate and honest as they come, but in a professional capacity - having worked with him on our podcast - a great professional, willing to learn, adapt and listen and not shy of asking questions to help improve at whatever he does
