More About Coach Cochise

Are you or your child:

Serious about football
Want to master the craft of your position and positions you want to play
Committed to becoming the best football player you can become

I get it...the truth is, the best players in the region, state and nation have private coaches/trainers year-round who helps them elevate their play, stay maintenanced during the season and have achieve success in the game of football.

Hey, I'm Coach CJ, former professional football player, juco football player and Division 1A recruit. I am also one of Maryland's top FIVE private/semi private football coaches.

If anyone knows what it takes to get where you want to go, be it, scholarship worthy player or professional, I've been there and know exactly what you need to do to get what you want out of football.

With my coaching, be it 1 - 1 or semi private, I can guarantee you that:

1) Master the craft of your position becoming technically sound and proficient (agility, speed, vision, footwork, reaction, etc)
2) Understand how to dominate games from film study to live play and having the ability to see your in-game success on film before stepping on the field
3) You will dramatically change your body to fulfill the rigors that comes with football and excel on the field for four quarters plus in order to truly dominate in live games, practices and camps/combines.

In other words, we're going to work really hard and become super fit, agile, faster, stronger, healthier, build great mental fortitude, master the cuts, breaks, jumps, acceleration, all things football, you're going to become outstanding at it.

You will train like you are a pro and be treated as such.

Football is an outstanding game and it is really simple. We get you in football shape, teach you how to master your playbook and breakdown opponents film and how to get the right eyes on you to take you where you see football taking you.

If taking your game or your sons game to the next level is important to you, shoot me a message and lets get started!

Each player did the work and deserves to be highlighted! Extremely proud of every single one of you! With Covid, some players had their seasons shortened or abandoned, for those who were able to compete, they all did phenomenal! Those who had some sort of a season:

Amir: coming off a championship at the 100lb level the year before, Amir has put in the work to show that he is capable of doing amazing things! During his flag season, Amir was able to lead his team to a championship, played in the flag season all star game, lead his all star team to a victory and now has been invited to a high school Rivals camp, personally by Virginia Union University as an 8th grader. Lastly, Amir has been in contact with Derrick Fox, NFL agent for Steve Smith Sr and others and will be guiding his path to the NFL. Tremendous work Amir!

Diezel: by far one of the most athletically gifted players and was on full display during his flag season. Diezel dominated his competition all year long and will be a contributor on his Varsity football team as a freshman as the result! Great job!

Brad: a Rahz Brand athlete since the very beginning, was able to have a season and as a freshman put the entire Virginia on notice. His teams best player, dominated everything in his path as the starting linebacker and was pulled up to Varsity for Massaponax as they make a playoff run! Keep going Brad!

William: Having only played flag football, William knew that with tackle he would be able to produce. Starting for his Freshman football team at Centreville high school, William was able to be a huge contributor in his first year playing tackle football coming in as a starter and setting the tone for what would become a 6-0 freshman season by completely mossing a guy in his very first game for a 40+ yard td reception. Finishing the season with 3 touchdowns receptions on a run heavy freshman football team, William showed out! Way to ball!

Bryan: one of MD's top youth corners, stepped into the high school game and immediately was an impact player, playing on junior varsity as a freshman and being able to show his lock down ability and be impactful in the return game, Bryan had a tremendous season and will head into varsity as a sophomore ready to raise his team to the next level! Great work Bryan!

Daniel: putting our focus on cross training, Daniel was able to make a state championship run for wrestling. He was dominate in his wrestling season and used the training combined with his wrestling experience to bully his was into the state championship wrestling tournament!

Josh: another cross trainer, Josh went into wrestling ready to work! Placing 6th in state of Virginia, Josh dominated! The work didnt stop when football season came around, immediately shifting into his starting role on the offensive line, Josh has been nothing but hard working and showing that he truly wants to be his greatest!

Jason: starting the season having to step in for some huge shoes to fill, Jason took over the tightend position for Chantilly high school as their Notre Dame commitment was out with injury, Jason made sure everyone noticed! Coming in for a D-1A athlete, Jason allowed no drop off from production, so much so that when their Notre Dame commit returned, Chantilly focused on a two tightend set! Let's go!

Mike: going from offensive line to Quarterback isnt easy, that didnt stop Mike! Mike put in the work and transformed his body, mastered the quarterback position and won the starting role as his Junior Varsity teams quarterback, no debating! He worked relentlessly over the summer and set his mind on his goal and accomplished that and more as a freshman! Very proud of the work you've done Mike!

Nick: Nick didnt have a season, what we will point out is that he deserves praise for his commitment to hard work in the classroom and it showed. Nick was awarded over $400k in scholarships for his academics and has chosen to attend Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA! Beyond proud of this young man, he is someone who will be a tremendous force and impact leading future generations!

Very proud of everyone and I really cannot express that enough, the accomplishments, the commitments, the growth...this is what it's all about. If you know anything about football, there is the understanding that there is a "next man up" mentality, meaning, we're proud of you all and now...who's up next?

It's your turn! Ready for 2024 and looking to be privately coached? Given the tools to master your on field game? Know the work off of the field to get you scholarships and NFL agents talking to you? All you have to do is book, as a former professional football player, I make sure to give you everything you need from what makes a player great to how to get recruited with an actionable plan that you can implement from day 1, all you have to do is book and the doors open up!

Want to spotlight the 2019-2020 kids, they started it all:

My name is Cochise "Cj" Jones. I am a professional football player. I have played internationally in both Portugal and Turkey and have been blessed to do wonders overseas. I was the MVP in Turkey as a rookie leading our team to their first ever championship appearance and championship victory.

In Turkey, I coached the linebackers and running backs primarily. I had a hand in all of the coaching, a team full of professional athletes. Our linebackers led the entire league in tackles, sacks and interceptions finishing as the number one ranked defense in all of Turkey. I also coached the defensive backs and wide receivers. Our defensive backs were all named to the national team and led the league in interceptions securing eight in our very first game of the season.

After Turkey, I signed to a Portuguese team and was an MVP front runner leading the team to their first ever 5-0 start in franchise history and number one ranking. I was invited to the BSN NFL combine in Indianapolis due to my efforts in Portugal which brought my tenure to an end early.

After the combine, I was invited to a private workout with Vice President of Player Personnel, Alonzo Highsmith, of the Cleveland Browns in Cypress, Texas.

I coached the running backs, linebackers, receivers, defensive backs and both the offensive and defensive line. We had the number one ranked defense and had two linebackers named to the national team.

2017 - 2018 - Mersin Mustangs and Algarve Sharks Running Back's, Outside Linebackers & Defensive Line Coach

In Turkey as a rookie playing professionally, I was blessed to have garnered many accomplishments.

Private workout with the Cleveland Browns.

My primary focus for my athletes is going to first be overall speed. An increase in reaction time and playing speed is what i believe separates great athletes. Improving a players football fundamentals brings about a higher IQ and will happen naturally and strategically. Athletes should expect a detailed "for purpose" reason when training with me and the number one thing is going to be speed, speed, speed. Forty time is going to drop tremendously, short shuttle and game speed. The playing speed will occur due to the increase in overall speed. Must be able to react fast and play faster.

An example session:

Dynamic Warm-UP with SMR
40 yard dash assessment
short shuttle assessment
Lap jog with varying speed
Resistance band exercise for adductors and abductors
Core training
40 yard dash corrective technique

Outstanding

(no details provided)

So in just 2 sessions I can already see a difference in my son's technique, speed and motivation to be the best he can be. This is not the first trainer we have tried but, this is by far the best. I will give a updates as we go but, so far I am truly impressed!!!

Coach CJ works great with my athlete. Understands and focus on his area of weakness. His style allows for targeted training on areas that needs improvement with drills that reinforce those areas.

Definitely recommend Coach CJ!

(no details provided)

Superb! I personally do not know much about football, but my son really liked his technique and wants to continue training 3 days a week with Coach Jones.

(no details provided)

Coach Cochise exhibited and expressed exceptional technical knowledge in the game of football. His passion to teach overflowed at times with great enthusiasm. My 17 year old son felt very comfortable and personable with the Coach Cochise.
Recommended booking Coach Cochise for multiple sessions to build upon initial assessment.

Coach Cochise was a great coach! Great training session.

amazing coach tells u everything ur doing wrong and helps u make it right.

Excellent

Cochise really pushes me to become the best , he corrects me when I’m wrong instead of letting it slide. He is very positive, supportive, and overall and very amazing trainer.

What I like about Coach CJ is that he is extremely supportive. He corrects mistakes, he’s not just a person that says you did it right the first time when you didn’t. He will tell me when it’s done the right way. He is someone that can be trusted. He taught me a lot more than being a better football player. He taught me that I should believe in myself and others should too. He is a amazing coach. Thank you for all that you did so far with my sessions. You make me the the greatest version of greatness in myself. I will do whatever it takes until I finish all this hard work!!

Amazing experience. Bradley was so excited after their first session and is equally excited to come back.

Coach CJ was excellent. His positive reinforcement got my son to push himself to heights we didn't expect with the first session. After more sessions I believe my son will be faster and more determined to reach his goals. Would definitely recommend coach CJ.

My son had his first season with Coach CJ and from start to finish I could see how quick he was improving. Coach CJ is very energetic and push my son all the way through his training session. Looking forward to seeing my son’s progression as he continues to work with Coach CJ.

Great coach/trainer! Doing a awesome job with my 8 year old. Does a great job pushing my son to new limits and encourages him along the way...I can already see my sons confidence growing. Cant wait to see my son continue to grow and improve under coach CJ's guidance

Positives CJ Jones is a great athlete but even a better person. He is never taken down first touch and often drags several players with him for extra yardage. CJ is an extremely hard working player and coach, who diligently studies game film of upcoming opponents and assists with game prep. CJ coached RBs and LBs during his time in Mersin and was open to sharing his knowledge to assist in improving the players around him. He works hard on the field and in the weight room. He is an extremely intelligent person and you can see this in his game play and preparation. He is a versatile athlete that played both RB and Slotback for us. Negatives There are no negatives about this player Statistics 6 touchdowns in his first 3 games Over 100 yard per game average. Over 100 yards receiving in games as well. Attitude CJ is extremely positive and willing to learn and enjoy new cultures and languages. He is not a player that sits alone at home. He gets out and enjoys the people. Every time we went out he was getting asked for photos and was very obliging to people. He has to be the most positive person that I have ever coached. He focuses his energy on being positive. Conclusion I would recommend CJ to any team looking at him and I would love to have him join me in the future.
Me and Cochise (Cj) were teammates for the Mersin mustangs for the 2017 season. And it was definitely a pleasure to have him as a brother on the field and off. Cj brings to a team the perfect lead by example mindset, with a great attitude always positive, he never complains he always looks at the bright side of things. Cochise has a vision for every situation he sets foot in and he will make that vision come to light. Hes always happy and smiling until it was time to battle on the field. When he hits the weight room, practice, or game field he is ready to work and do whatever needs to be done to win. Sometimes even helping with game planning. He understands that part of being an import is to teach what he has learned to the other players in the system and help the game grow. Cochise is the ultimate motivator he knows how to help the team or an individual push for that extra effort, it was several times he gave young players that extra motivation to make plays or get on the field. Cj also brings a competitor, he comes to a team with the sole purpose of winning a championship. He doesnt care if thats being a receiver, running the ball, blocking, or being a decoy he is truly an unselfish player. He sets goals for himself and he will stop at nothing to see those goals achieved and surpassed. I loved blocking for Cj because I knew he was giving his all back there and if i did my job he was going to do his. Signing him would bring a talented, hardworking, positive, competitive, God fearing man who anyone would be proud to coach or call a teammate.
Cant explain how he focus for every game and every practice.He is the best import player in europe i have ever seen so far.Not only his football skills but also his personality is perfect out of the field.No matter how bad things happen he leads the team.I'm trying to say everyone can be football player but cj jones is a professional football player.It was a great experience to play with him. Mersin Mustangs Quarterback
Cochise "Cj" Jones - "Offensive Weapon I had the pleasure of sharing the backfield with CJ whilst playing for the 2018 Algarve Sharks. Without any doubt CJs athletic abilities were obvious from day 1, which is firmly backed by his profound knowledge and passion for the game. We were roommates for the duration of the stay in Portugal, and when we were not either in the gym or doing a field workout, CJ would be found meticulously assessing game film of up-coming opponents and devising both offensive, and defensive game plans for the team to move forward in, to great success, and generally aiding in my progression as a QB reading a defence and situational audibles to call. As a player, CJ's impact is immediate, explosive and devastating. In our first game of the season, first play, we had a simple dive called. CJ takes it 60+ yards to the house. You truly feel as any time he touches the ball, he has the ability to turn it into 6, as he not only has the physical skills to make NFL defences miss, but he has already done the amount of film work to know exactly where the green grass is to be found. When lined up at the WR/Slot position, there is no drop off in productivity, as his speed plus route running ability will turn him to a go to WR on any roster. As a person, his positive personality and charisma is truly infectious, and a joy to be around. I firmly believe you will be hard pressed to find a player more dedicated on and off the field, with the Football IQ and playing ability of Mr Jones, and any team looking to sign him, will be signing a player of Championship material. As a QB I honestly felt that with CJ in the backfield with me, there is no team capable of stopping us. Ashley Bailey - QB
I played with CJ in Portugal for the Algarve Sharks during the 2017/18 season. I can safely say that he is one of the best athletes I have ever played with, and also a great person, a team player, and a leader, on and of the field. The way he focus and gets in the "zone" come gameday is incredible, and his energy and intensity during the game are contagious! He also helped me personaly grow a lot as a player, as he is also a great coach. Hit me up anytime if you have a question about Cj.
