I have been playing baseball for more than 20 years and coaching youth teams for several seasons. Across six seasons as a head coach, my teams have a combined 49-9-1 record. I have also coached our town all star team as an assistant, sharing many of the responsibilities of the head coach. Parents and players regularly give positive feedback about the improvement they see and the environment I create. My approach is built on a simple idea: players learn best when they enjoy the game, feel supported, and are encouraged to grow. I want players to like playing for me and to know that I take their development seriously. I participate directly in drills by throwing, hitting, fielding, and demonstrating mechanics so they can see how each movement should look. In individual lessons, that means you get clear examples, detailed feedback, and drills tailored to how you move and what you want to improve. I do not believe in yelling at players or embarrassing anyone in front of the team. On the teams I coach, we win and lose together. If a specific mistake needs to be addressed, I handle it one on one and give clear, honest feedback. At the same time, I keep expectations clear and consistent. If effort or focus drops, we reset with conditioning or structured drills to get everyone locked back in. I teach that good baseball comes from strong mechanics, physical strength, discipline, and confidence. We run, do push ups, and talk through game situations so players learn to think the game, not just play it. I want players to enjoy baseball, understand why it is fun, and learn that being good at something is enjoyable even when the work gets tough. I am happy to work on any part of a player’s game, but I have a particular passion for pitching and love helping pitchers sharpen their mechanics, command, and mound presence. Whether you want to improve your pitching, throwing, hitting, or overall baseball IQ, I focus on clear instruction, repeatable fundamentals, and a mindset that helps you succeed on the field.

"As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful for the positive influence Coach Alex has been both on and off the field. From day one, the coach created an environment that was fun, encouraging, and disciplined while helping the players grow not only as athletes but as individuals. On many occasions, the coach would stay after practice to work one-on-one with players on pitching and batting. That extra effort showed how much Coach Alex truly cares about each player’s development. I’m so grateful for the confidence and growth my child has experienced each season with Coach Alex!

With five years of dedicated baseball coaching, I cultivate fundamental skills and a love for the game. My approach blends proven techniques with personalized instruction. I strive to create a supportive and fun learning environment for athletes.

Coach Carl Poe's athletic journey began with a passion for multiple sports, which he pursued from youth through high school. His dedication led him to earn a scholarship to play collegiate baseball at UNC-Pembroke. However, during his senior year, an unfortunate hand injury ended his playing career. Determined to continue his path in sports, Carl shifted focus to academics, earning a degree in Physical Education and Coaching before advancing to graduate school at Appalachian State, where he earned a Master's in Exercise Science with a focus on Sports Strength and Conditioning. This transition from competitive baseball to strength and conditioning allowed Carl to dedicate his career to training athletes. With over 20 years of experience, including time at the US Olympic Training Center, Carl has built a legacy of helping athletes achieve their peak performance to compete at the highest level possible .

"My training time spent with Coach Poe has dramatically improved/enhanced my play on the ice, physically and mentally. His program design and technique work with me is unlike that of other strength coaches. Finally he truly shows his dedication to me and my sport and health. Even though I am playing my sport away from NC, I will for sure be keeping in touch with Coach and training with him whenever I do travel back home to NC.

I honed my skills and understanding of the game through competitive club soccer with notable clubs such as Carolina Rapids and Charlotte Soccer Academy.

This extensive playing experience has provided me with an intimate knowledge of the game's technical nuances, strategic demands, and the dedication required to succeed. My aspiration to coach stems from a desire to continue my involvement in the sport I love, but more importantly, to positively impact young athletes. I am committed to working hands-on with players, not only to develop their on-field skills and elevate their performance but also to cultivate their character as athletes and individuals. I believe that soccer, like any sport, offers invaluable lessons in discipline, teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship, all of which are essential for success both on and off the field.
