People call him "The Fast Bowling Doctor" and he's written an entire book on the subject. International players work with him privately. What’s more, Ian is a Twenty 20 expert coach, teaching how to bowl variations, yorkers and slower balls, including The World’s Best Slower Ball, known as the SLOB, devised and created by Ian to baffle the very best batsmen in the game. Whether it’s technical or tactical help you need, Ian can have you improving - fast.  Yet he is also a top level batting coach having worked with the likes of Andy Flower, now England’s batting coach.

Ian works at international, national, regional, county and local levels. He has coached Under 10’s players up to world superstars like Dale Steyn, currently ranked number one in the world. He travels to Test playing countries such as India, South Africa and even emerging cricket nations like America, to host amazing workshops, courses and training modules.

Ian is Head Coach of the prestigious International Pro Camp based in Potchefstroom, South Africa and had cricket legends such as Gary Kirsten (now India Head Coach), Jimmy Cook and Graeme Pollock working alongside him.

In the UK, Ian is ECB National & Regional Skills Sets coach, who has taken learning to extraordinary new heights with his world-class ABSAT coaching methods - above and beyond ECB coaching levels. It means you can discover the little-known secrets of how to bowl faster and straighter at the same time. ABSAT is for players and coaches alike.

His latest new publication, The Fast Bowler's Bible, sold out in just 10 months. Many coaches use this as a template for  teaching fast bowling coaching around the world. It's now on the THIRD edition.

Find out for yourself how Ian has debunked the mystery of fast bowling in a user-friendly way, so everyone can understand it and benefit from it. He makes batting coaching fun, exciting and full of innovation.

He is currently designing and creating new products to help bowlers practice accuracy.  He is shortly introducing the Duraband (tm) products to the UK for bowlers to practice and improve their performance and for batters to improve their hitting zone. 

For private, individual or group elite level help, or whatever your background, you’ve arrived at the right place.  And as Ian says, ''It's not how you start that matters, it's how you finish that counts.''

IPL player Atul Sharma of The Rajasthan Royals is back again in training in South Africa this week with Ian Pont. He's recovering from his shoulder injury, which he sustained in a fielding accident in a practice game, far faster than expected. This is a video montage of his drill work from just a short run-up and not his 30m run-up, and fitness dedicated to his amazing workload and strength & conditioning.
