About Coach Carlos
My name is Joao Carlos
Born and raised in Brazil, I grew up with a love for physical activities. While learning how to exercise helped me increase my stamina, develop my physical strength and improve my mobility, I found it also helped my self-confidence. After playing professional soccer for ten years in Brazil, I moved to Los Angeles and started Coach Carlos Fundamentals in 2016.
Coach Carlos' Values
We ignite the flames of possibility within every child, guiding them on a journey of growth, wellness, and discovery. We believe in the transformative power of movement, the joy of play, and the potential within each young soul. Our program is more than just fitness; it's a lifestyle that cultivates discipline, focus, joy, individualization, and teamwork.
Discipline
Discipline is the cornerstone of greatness. We instill in our young athletes the importance of commitment, perseverance, and dedication. Through disciplined practice and consistent effort, they unlock their full potential, building a foundation for success in both sports and life.
1
Focus
Focus is the key to achievement. In a world filled with distractions, we teach our children the art of concentration and mindfulness. By channeling their energy and attention, they learn to set goals, overcome obstacles, and excel in every endeavor they pursue.
2
Joy
Joy is the heart of our program. We believe that fitness should be fun, inspiring, and empowering. Through dynamic workouts, engaging activities, and a supportive community, we ignite a passion for movement that lasts a lifetime. When children experience the pure joy of being active, they embrace a lifestyle of health and vitality with enthusiasm and excitement.
3
Individualization
Individualization is our commitment to every child. We recognize that each young athlete is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and dreams. That's why we tailor our program to meet their specific needs, abilities, and aspirations. Whether they're aiming for personal bests or striving for greatness, we provide the guidance, support, and encouragement they need to thrive.
4
Teamwork
We believe that together, we are stronger. Through collaboration, cooperation, and camaraderie, we create a culture of belonging where every child feels valued, respected, and supported. As they work together towards shared goals, they learn the importance of trust, communication, and unity, building friendships that last a lifetime.

Our Philosophy
“Movement with Purpose” - that’s my coaching philosophy. I started Coach Carlos FUNdamentals in 2016 with the specific purpose of helping kids to move better, to enhance body awareness by developing better balance, coordination and increasing strength.
Why? Because I want children, especially ages 4-8, to become physically and emotionally conditioned to a healthier lifestyle. To learn skills and develop habits early in childhood that will stay with them as they grow into teenage years and evolve into their adulthood.
