Trusted by players, parents
and professionals.
“Gemaal worked with PaceLab throughout the winter in Sheffield and was a real asset to the programme. I’m delighted that he is building his own coaching business and sharing his valuable knowledge.”
“Gemaal is an outstanding coach who builds trust, develops strong relationships and gets players to believe in themselves. I have seen first-hand the impact he can have on a team and on individual players—and, more importantly, he is a great human being.”
“The Scotland Women’s team were coached by Gemaal and he had a very positive impact on our players. I learned vital lessons on and off the field which have helped throughout my career. He is calm, patient and very knowledgeable.”
“It’s been a pleasure working with Gemaal Hussain. Working with him at SACA showed me that his attention to detail is excellent. He is an outstanding coach and a great guy to work with.”
“Gemaal assessed my body type and built a routine that worked with my biomechanics, not against them. The result was a version of me that felt powerful, resilient and completely at home in my body. That combination took me to new potential at international level.”
“Gemaal is a caring, authentic and knowledgeable cricket professional. His understanding of the game, approachable nature and genuine desire to help others develop make him an excellent coach and role model.”
“I had the pleasure of playing cricket with Gemaal at Gloucestershire. He is a fantastic cricketer with a great understanding and passion for the game. It’s brilliant to see him passing on his knowledge and experience through GMH.”
“Over the past 12 years, Gemaal has guided, encouraged and believed in Hishaam. He has helped him achieve so much on and off the field, but his greatest impact has been on the person Hishaam has become. The lessons of hard work, discipline, respect and a positive attitude will stay with him for life. We will always be deeply grateful.”
