Jake Floros is an impressive young man, who demonstrates very mature personal characteristics. Jake communicates with sophistication when appropriate, always providing comprehensive, relevant and useful feedback to us.

We were able to explain to Jake and feel understood, that our primary aim was for our son to enjoy his coaching experience. Jake’s coaching ability is clearly extensive, and the range of training drills and techniques has been effectively tailored by Jake to our son’s ability, his needs and our requirements.

Jake is professional, resourceful, energetic and enthusiastic in all of the coaching sessions. We are completely satisfied with Jake and he has met and exceeded all of our expectations. Naturally, the consequence is that our son is enthused, growing in confidence, and thoroughly enjoys all of his coaching with Jake; but what is more, our son’s cricketing skills are markedly improving, and for us, that’s an extra win.

Thank you, Jake.

Jake has made a huge impact on my daughters sporting journey since we approached Evolve Sports Coaching for advice for her sporting development earlier this year. My daughter plays a variety of sports and we were looking for a mentor to assist in her overall sporting mindset, fitness and skill-set.

Jake has been excellent in offering guidance and advice to my daughter which has resulted in her not only excelling in her chosen sports – but also the level of enjoyment has made a huge difference.

I encourage anyone looking for assistance in the development of their children to join the Evolve Sports Coaching network.

I have known and been coached by Jake in a team environment for a number of years. I have always found him to be approachable, knowledgeable, talented, fair and honest.

At the start of the 2014-15 cricket season I commenced one-on-one coaching with Jake. My aim was to improve my bowling and batting technique and make the Emerging Comets team. With Jakes coaching, mentoring and encouragement I achieved these goals and I also learnt to enjoy my cricket more.

I would recommend Jake as a coach to anyone who wants to reach their potential.

Jake Floros is second to none when it comes to teaching the game of cricket at all levels. My son, Dylan, has been training with Jake for about two years now and the improvement in his game and mental attitude has improved immensely.

May I say, the money we have spent on these sessions has been of great value to not only my son’s game but also to his mental attitude towards the game of cricket and life in general. The sessions are great value for money. Jake’s patience and attitude to each of his students is to be commended and it can clearly be seen that he cares for his students and their development as not only young cricket players but as well rounded young men and women.

Jake has been a wonderful mentor for my son and has become someone whom my son looks up to with great respect. Jake is an outstanding young man who has a great attitude towards life and he instills this into each of his students.

If you are considering getting cricket lessons for your son or daughter I highly recommend Jake Floros and Evolve Sports Coaching regardless of their age or skill levels. You will not be disappointed.

Our son is a beginner cricketer who is playing this year at the U11 level. I was keen for him to get some one-on-one instruction, since I don't have a background in cricket, and fortunately met Jake at the Weston Creek indoor sports centre.

Jake has a great style of coaching, and his tips have improved our son's technique greatly. I really appreciate the fact that Jake always presents a positive attitude to the kids and towards cricket in general during the coaching sessions, and I believe that this has helped our son maintain interest in the sport and the desire to improve.

I highly recommend Jake for anyone looking for a friendly and knowledgeable cricket coach.

We have only worked with Jake for a few months on a one-on-one basis and during this time we have found him very competent and reliable. Jake has the ability to communicate with kids and parents alike.

My Son's confidence and ability have improved week on week and he looks forward to each coaching session. I highly recommend Jake to any parent for coaching, and to anyone looking for an incremental improvement for their child’s cricketing skills.

As a parent or carer, the thing you want most is for your child is for them to grow in confidence in both their love of the sport and abilities grow. In the four years that we have worked with Jake, whether in a team environment or in one-on-one session, every child has always walked away with their head held high and a couple of centimetres taller.

That ability to communicate ideas and dreams extends to the parents and carers as well. Jake finds time to talk with each carer and parent at each session to explain what has been going on, which is no mean feat given that some team sessions have 18 participants.

If you are looking for a coach for your child or your team they – don’t come much better than Jake. With Jake involved the future of cricket in general and ACT cricket specifically, is in good hands.

Jake is the best cricket doctor ever. He instinctively knows what’s not working and how to tweak it.

He has developed a whole arsenal of remedies, tailor-made for each player. If your bowling or batting isn’t where you want it to be, don’t waste time – get the best training around and contact Jake at Evolve Sports Coaching!

Over the previous years I was struggling to score runs with the bat and my bowling was ok.

I approached Jake for one-on-one coaching at the beginning of the 2014-2015 cricket season, and my batting improved by about 50.

Jake has helped me immensely, and although I still have some work to do I know I can achieve more with Jakes help.

I have been working with Jake on and off over the last season and have enjoyed the experience very much.

Jake has assisted with all parts of my cricket and he coaches in a way that is positive and easy to understand. I know he is interested in helping me improve my skills but what I really like is the genuine interest he shows in me as a person.

I highly recommend Jake to other interested cricketers.

Jake took my cricket to the next level. He not only gave me skills and knowledge, but confidence and after training with Jake, I’m a much better bowler, batsman and sports person.

He works me hard but it’s worth it – and he makes it fun too!
