More About Coach Christopher

I am a former Division I college basketball standout and professional basketball player (4 years/Iceland, Finalnd, Mexico, & IBL) I have coached 13 years on the college level (NCAA DII and NAIA DI). I was a college head coach for 8 years. Additionally, I have been hosting skills clinics and camps for 18 years. I have worked with high school teams throughout Georgia and Alabamand and have conducted skills clinic around the Southeast. I am also a talent evaluator/scout for high school and college players. I enjoy teaching the game of basketball to all ages. I believe it's important to instill proper fundamentals and teaching players how to play the game the right way. I have worked exclusively with several middle school, high school, college, and professional players. I recently relocated to North Georgia area and I look forward to working with players in the Metro Atlanta and Northwest GA area.

I was ranked in the top 50 in high school by Streets and Smith, The Sporting News, and was runner up Mr. Basketball in GA in 1993. I played at Tulane University. I'm currently 7th all-times in steals, was given Most Inspirational Award for my work ethic and contribution for 4 years, and was 2-Time All-Conference USA Defensive Team.
I played in Finland for 2 years (Player of the Year in 1999), Played in Mexico for 2 Years (Most Outstanding Players in 2001), Drafted by the San Diego Stingrays of the International Basketball League (IBL) in 2000. I coaches at Albany State University and Xavier University (13 years/8 as Head Coach) where I developed 12 All-League Players, 2 All-Americans, and had 5 of my former players to play professional basketball. Notable high school players I currently work with are EJ Montgomery (#1 player in GA c/o 18), ranked top 20 in the country, and a McDonald's All-American Game selection, Austin Johnson (Tennessee State University Signee), and Brandon Younger (University of Charlotte signee.

I am a technician. You will be taught proper fundamentals and you will be given the knowledge as to why you are doing the drills that we are working on. Most of my drills are game specific. I will challenge you to get better daily through intense skill work and positive motivation. The game of basketball is 85 %mental and I challenged you to grow mentally, physically, and socially.

Great coach

Coach Christopher is an excellent coach. His knowledge about basketball really helped Tristan become better in his skills.

Very experienced and knowledgeable coach! We’ve tried two coaches from CoachUp and all were wonderful, but something unique about coach Christopher. I think we’ve found the one! Thanks for everything. I cannot wait to see my son’s progress throughout this journey!

Coach Chris is really good with my son. We tried a few different coaches at first and he is the one my son picked. He brings a lot of knowledge and makes it engaging the whole time. Easy to communicate with and always ready to adjust based on where your kid is that week and what they need to focus on developing. Definitely book Coach Chris!

Coach Christopher was great! he really has a way of teaching basketball that is easy to learn and comprehend. we are looking forward to getting coached by him in the future.

Great coach who has inspired my son to practice, practice, practice!

Coach Cameron has been working with my son JP who is a junior in HS. He enjoys working with coach CC learning new skills he can adapt to his game. Also, coach CC has been teaching JP the level of intensity he needs to show the kind of player he wants to become. I highly recommend coach CC.

My son has never played organized basketball, so we felt he needed to establish a solid foundation of skills before trying out for his middle school team, as was his plan. In just a few lessons, Coach Cameron has already made a big impact and started him down that path. We not only see tremendous improvement in technical skills, but he is being given tools to assess in game situations and make the appropriate decisions. We highly recommend Coach Cameron.

The session with coach Christopher was awesome. He started with the fundamentals and I could see the excitement in my son's eyes. My son enjoyed the session and look forward to another session.

Very technical instruction that was upbeat and fun. My son loved it. Coach Cam was patient yet stern, and he read my son’s demeanor and adapted to it. We will continue with Coach Cam.

He was able to tell me exactly what my son needed. Being a single parent is not easy. He worked with me on location to help me out as far as being able to get my son trained and back to work on time.

I’am very happy with the great feedback, I received from my son about Coach Cam today. He really enjoyed his basketball session. We are definitely, going to sign our son up for more sessions.

My son had a great session with Coach Christopher! He taught him several drills and made it fun yet challenging for my son, who thoroughly enjoyed it and was highly motivated to keep working out. Coach was very calm and encouraging, which helped my son focus even when he got frustrated (if he missed shots). If you are looking for a coach with attention to detail, high energy and a wonderful, positive attitude, then I would definitely recommend Coach Christopher!

My son really enjoyed his basketball lesson and we plan to book more.

Coach Christopher went through a variety of drills with my child in the hour session booked. He took the time to explain the advantages and results from the techniques he taught my child.

Coach Christopher's workouts were very efficient. He knows what he is doing. I will definitely sign up for more sessions.

Very attentive to the players and had an organized workout regiment. We appreciated his time and my son was able to take away something he can always use in his personal workouts.

My son has attended several sessions with Coach Christopher over the last couple of months. In that time, I have seen a large improvement in his skills and confidence when playing basketball. Also, I have seen a renewed energy and want to practice on his own.

The sessions themselves have been well designed and keep my son working from start to finish with a vast array of drills that cover multiple skill areas. Coach Christopher has communicated well and has been willing to work with us on our schedule requirements. We highly recommend Coach Christopher.

This was our first session with Coach Christopher, and my daughter will definitely continue training with him. Coach Christopher was very energetic and positive, and he kept the session moving and tailored for my daughter. He was great.

Coach Chris was wonderful and my son yr old son loved working with him. He was knowledgeable and patient and gave him the attention and direction he needed to understand the drills. We look forward to more sessions with Coach Chris.

I was amazed at Coach Christopher's ability to start with a small movement and build on it to make such great headway in performance. He is a consummate coach.

Coach Chris improved my shooting technique.

My son, Jaden, has had two sessions with Coach Chris and not only was I pleased with his patience and knowledge of the game; I was extremely happy with the time he spent on each drill ensuring that my child grasped the concept before moving on to something else. Each client will come with different skills and appreciation for the game and I am delighted that he was able to grade my child according to his level and highlight his areas of improvement. Thanks.

Recently booked a session for my 13 y/o son, who's rather new to the game of basketball. Coach C. was very professional, knowledgable and had the perfect coach's edge and balance to motivate my son to work harder during the session. (Even if that means stopping mid drill to ask questions or correct form.) My son is eager to book more time so he can learn and work more with Coach C!
