Oli Stone, England and Warwickshire CCC
I have known Goldi since I was about 9 years old which is when I started going to Red Mist for coaching with my brother. From the first time I went, Goldi was nothing but welcoming, helpful, with nothing ever being too much trouble. The coaching sessions were really fun, interesting and varied which meant for a young boy like me, I looked forward to going back each week. Goldi was very good at making suggestions if there was something he had picked up on during a session and when we had a specific focus, it would allow us to get better and gain confidence with the skills we were learning.
Goldi helped and supported me throughout my cricket growing up until I was 16. I was fortunate enough to be on Norfolks academy which Goldi ran and who has been a massive part of my success throughout the years, leading me to play professional cricket. Whenever i’m playing cricket, Goldi will always send his best for the upcoming season and keep in touch with how i'm getting on, which shows the kind of person he is.
I would highly recommend Goldi and Red Mist to any young person who is interested in cricket, whether that be purely for a fun/social aspect or because they want to progress further with their game and play cricket at a higher level. In my opinion, the fact that Goldi is still involved in the County set up after a number of years just highlights what a great coach and person he is.
