More About Coach Charles
I have been training/coaching for about 8 years, I started off in the community center summer camps then move into individual/group training. I also coached middle school basketball for my alma mater, Lake Mary Prep. I work with all age groups 5-40.
Basketball has truly been a blessing, it allowed me to see other states. My sophomore year in high school i was invited to a prestige camp called the Eastern Invitational, it was a humbling experience, I made the all-star game and was also announced Mvp of my age group of the camp. Junior year i was named all-district, Honorable Mention all-state and received the coaches award. Senior year I was all-district, all-state, 1a State player of the year, and I also received the coaches award. I attended Webber International University all 4 years, I had a good collegiate career. I was blessed to play semi pro in ABL for the Orlando Lightning.
A client can expect a game speed workout. We will focus on all the basic fundamentals of the game such as ball handling, shooting, defense, passing, court awareness and many other aspects of the game. I usually start with stretching and calisthenics, which will lead into ball handling. We will warm up with form shooting before we get started with any shooting drills. We will also work on different ways to attack your defender and getting to the basket.

Leon (CoachUp client)
After shopping around and researching several coaches, I felt that Coach Charles was the correct choice. Half way through our first session, I KNEW I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. Super knowledgeable at every position. I honestly saw my kid improve during the session. We’ve got 2 more sessions this go around and plan on signing up for more. Really can’t wait. Stay tuned. I’ll let you know how our second session goes.
Second session in the books. Unbelievable development at every position. Ball handling, positioning, low post moves, rebounding, free throws, not to mention endurance and stamina were all focal points. Coach Charles is a great communicator and teaches with patience and positive motivation. My 14 year old son absolutely loves every minute. And I love watching him learn the game properly. THANKS COACH.
Edgar (CoachUp client)
Excellent coach, knows and loves the game. Was able to provide value to our son’s game from the initial session by teaching and explaining all drills mechanics, its purpose and intended goals! Dr. Torres
Michelle (CoachUp client)
Coach Charles was a huge help to my son. He was patient, supportive , and positive while teaching my son new basketball skills. We are looking forward to his next lesson.
Brian (CoachUp client)
Coach CJ was exactly what my son needed in order to take that next step. He observed what my son’s game level was and adjusted the coaching lesson to maximize his efforts.
Steven S (CoachUp client)
Great coach
Wendy (CoachUp client)
Coach Charles worked with my 18 year old high School senior today. She stated, "He was great at showing me different things. I wasn't shooting good at first then we did this shooting drill. After that my shooting got better. He did good ball handling skills with me. I like a coach that can perform what he is teaching me".
We will be looking forward to the next session real soon. Thanks Coach!
Rudy (CoachUp client)
Coach Charles was very hands on. He knows the game and knows what it takes to be a star player. My son did learn a lot from the first session. I highly recommend him.
Matthew (CoachUp client)
Coach Charles is awesome! Was already in place and ready to go, which to me is very professional... he is very knowledgeable and skilled and knows what he is talking about and the game. He is very positive and upbeat and motivational. Even when I was missing shot after shot he kept the positivity up which I love and need. I appreciated how he said he will teach me the fundamentals and break it down for me, which no one has done before. I loved also how he said sometimes you have to talk to the ball! 😂 Definitely will be training with Coach CJ. If you’re looking for a coach, he’s that dude!
Nikole (CoachUp client)
Coach Charles was awesome. My son already has learned a couple of things he can work until our next session. Looking forward to it.
Myles (CoachUp client)
Coach CJ is the best! He really understands the game well, and will help you develop in all aspects as an athlete. He knows how to figure out the areas you need improvement in and will work with you to get better. In just a few practices he’s already improved my shot, my ball handling, and how I attack the rim. If you really want to up your game, training with Coach CJ is the best decision you’ll ever make.
Miguel (CoachUp client)
First meeting with Charles. He provided a lot of positive and valuable feedback. The work out was challenging and exactly what we were looking for and needed. We would recommend him to anyone, as he is very knowledgeable about basketball and the skills needed to advance in the game.
Sheldon (CoachUp client)
My boys had their first workout with coach Charles this morning and they seemed to have enjoyed it. I think they were impressed with his attention to details as far as their individual talents, and has advised them on areas for improvements which he will work with them specifically. Clearly coach Charles is knowledgeable about the game and its intricacies. His feedback was instructive. I think my boys enjoyed and benefited from the session.
Eric (CoachUp client)
CJ is great. He improved my game after just one session. Excited to continue working with him.

Wendy (CoachUp client)
Coach Charles was a great coach. He showed up on time and was ready to rolll. He also came prepared with the appropriate equipment and drills to get my son in the groove. When I asked my son about his experience he said "He is nice and I want to work with him for the rest of my life" I highly recommend him and we will work with him going forward.
Janese (CoachUp client)
Coach Charles was great with my son. They worked on ball handling, footwork, and drills. He was great at encouraging Jayden, as well as, motivating him. My son is very shy, so anything that makes him come out his shell is a winner. I definitely recommend Coach Charles!
Wyatt (CoachUp client)
Have had 1 session with Coach Charles, and it was fantastic. Great coach who gives fantastic encouragement during training. Drills were very engaging and fun. Highly recommend!
Derek (CoachUp client)
I like working with Coach Charles. When you're training with him, he'll correct your mistakes on the court during drills. For example: when you're dribbling down the court he will tell you to stay low and to always keep your head up, this way you'll better handle the ball/you'll have a view of your opponents, teammates etc. and not have your eyes fixated on the ball. Before the workout, he will instruct you to warmup to get the blood flowing and to prevent pulling a muscle. When coach is not available for you, he will give you specific drills to do on your own to improve your game. I plan on booking more sessions with him in the near future!
TaLee (CoachUp client)
My daughter had nothing but GOOD things to say about Coach Charles. Thank you Coach!
Michael (CoachUp client)
CJ has been an awesome coach, we are working hard to have a middle school boy ready for his tryouts next week. CJ always comes prepared and does a great job mixing it up to keep the session moving along! Thank you CJ he's working hard
Megan King (Testimonial)
I started working with coach Cj my junior year of high school. I wanted to improve my ball handling and shot percentage. Coach Cj always had new drills to challenge me that build on the drills from the previous workout. He is an awesome and upbeat coach who always challenges his players to be better. He pushed me to level that I needed to be at and helped me have an amazing senior year of basketball.
Patrick (Testimonial)
I have had great experiences working with CJ this year. He has made me feel more confident about my body type for playing sports. He has also helped me understand that my future is up to me and not what people say about me. I like working on basketball with him because he pays attention to me and teaches me how to get better.
Nyameye Adom (Testimonial)
Training with CJ has been a great experience. He focuses mainly on game specific drills, developing skills for certain in game situations. It's also beneficial because a long with skill work, we work on conditioning because of the non stop repetitions that I get. I find the training to be helping my game on the court and I get better every time I leave a session. It's hard work every time and thoroughly develops my game.
