Coach Carlos

Background

Born and raised in Miami, FL, Coach Carlos was mentored by NBA champion coach and trainer Phil Handy, and is certified under 94FT of Game and GOATA Movement Science — training that shaped an approach to player development built on more than skills and drills.

A lifelong student and teacher of the game, he brings a childlike curiosity and an obsession for detail to every session. He's not just developing great players — he's developing great people, drawing on a background in behavioral therapy and afterschool programs.

Before Superstep, Coach Carlos coached and trained with programs including AFP Basketball, New Life Christian Academy, and Crossed Athletics — experience that taught him the same lesson over and over: athletes improve fastest when they trust their coach and feel truly seen.

Training Philosophy

Great players are built from the ground up. Superstep starts with balance and spatial awareness before anything sport-specific, because in basketball you're only as good as your body allows you to move. Every session blends functional movement mechanics with real basketball skill development.

And development starts with connection. Before an athlete can grow, they have to feel safe — so every session begins with building real trust between coach and athlete. That's why his philosophy starts with connection, not cones.

Superstep exists to give young athletes what Coach Carlos wishes more players had coming up: a coach who treats development as both a science and a relationship.
