The Cricket West Indies (CWI) certified Level One and Level Two coach has had the opportunity to work with the current crop of elite Tucber Park players, including fast bowlers Romario Shepherd, Nial Smith, and Micah Amsterdam.
Tanner, who is the most present coach at the New Amsterdam-based cricket club, began his coaching journey back in 2019. He worked with junior and senior players and also featured at the Guyana Cricket Board inter-county, where he plied his coaching trade.
“I began my coaching journey in 2019 with Tucber Park Cricket Club, where I worked with both senior and junior players. In 2022, I earned my Level One CWI Coaching Certificate, followed by my Level Two certification in 2023.”
“Cricket has always meant a great deal to me, and coaching has become my way of giving back to the game while making a positive contribution to my community. Over the years, my passion for player development and continuous learning has kept me deeply committed to the coaching pathway,” Tanner told this daily publication.
Tanner is seeking upward mobility in his blooming coaching career. He learnt about the CoachED programme and has his eyes set on the main prize: moving up the coaching ranks.
“A few months ago, I learnt that Gary Kirsten, a former international cricketer and renowned coach, is now involved as the programme coordinator with CoachED. This inspired me to reach out, as I am eager to further upskill myself, refine my coaching methods, and strengthen my ability to share knowledge effectively.”
“These experiences of working with recognised players have reinforced my ambition to contribute to the development of cricket in our country and to coach at the highest level,” Coach Tanner said.
Equipped with passion and love for the sport and helping young cricketers, Tanner’s coaching journey will continue to reach greater heights. (Brandon Corlette)
