- Our Story
My name is Recordo Gordon, founder of Gordon Sports Ltd, and Gordon Sports was founded on a clear belief that every talented young cricketer deserves access to a genuine high-quality pathway to elite performance.
From the outset, our purpose has been to break down barriers for young players and provide an enhanced platform where ambition discipline and long-term development are prioritised. We work with athletes who are serious about their journey and committed to discovering how far their potential can take them.
The Beginning
Our story began with just one or two young cricketers who showed an early desire to take the game seriously. We started working with them at Under 10 level supporting their technical physical and personal development year after year. Those players progressed into the professional game which gave us invaluable insight into what truly works when developing young athletes over time.
That experience allowed us to design a clear structure and long-term system a pathway that guides players from childhood through adolescence and into elite performance environments.
A Proven Pathway
Today that system underpins everything we do at Gordon Sports High Performance.
We currently support 14 players across county age group pathways and elite performance pathways including
- Players competing in county academy second teams
- A young fast bowler who has represented England Under 19s
- A young female cricketer within the county academy system who has been invited to a national training camp
- A batter awarded a franchise contract becoming the first English player under 18 to receive a professional deal
- A young women’s player competing in Tier 3 cricket
These outcomes reflect a development process built on patience precision and purpose.
Our Philosophy
We do not promise results
We do not guarantee selection or contracts
What we do guarantee is commitment and dedication to every athlete we work with. Our focus is on
- Long term individualised development
- High performance standards applied from an early age
- Building confident disciplined resilient young people
- Supporting both the athlete and the individual
We are passionate about helping young players reach their maximum potential not only as cricketers but as people.
Looking Forward
We are now expanding our High-Performance Programmes sharing the same proven systems that have already supported outstanding success with a wider group of talented young athletes.
Our pathway works. Our standards are high. Our purpose is clear.
Gordon Sports High Performance. Developing the player. Developing the person.
