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. I’ve had the pleasure of working with so many great kids and families over the years.And now, as a father of two beautiful children, I realize how valuable physical activities are to the physical and emotional well-being of a child.
