Hi, I’m Charlie.
Sports have shaped my life, teaching me lessons far beyond the field.
I played for the Cardinals, White Sox, Pirates, and Phillies over 11 seasons, maintaining a .288 career batting average. Playing in the big leagues was a dream come true, but the path wasn’t without challenges: I faced slumps, injuries, and setbacks along the way. I learned that success comes from perseverance, adaptability, and growth.
My mission is to make professional level training and insights accessible to young players to help you unlock your fullest potential.

Charlie’s Philosophy

Rule 1: Have Fun
Have fun and build passion by creating a positive association with practice. Set challenging yet achievable goals to keep athletes motivated and help develop a growth mindset rooted in positivity.

Rule 2: Keep It Simple
Use technology to pinpoint areas for improvement, but rely on experience to turn those insights into straightforward, actionable cues.

Rule 3: Play the Game
Baseball is an individual sport within a team context. Understanding situational baseball—like inning, score, outs, and count—is crucial. Without this knowledge, individual skills can only take us so far.
Testimonials

Shawn Goosenberg
Chicago White Sox
Northwestern University
Charlie made me a more complete and confident hitter in just the few months I got to spend learning from him while at Northwestern. He has an impressive feel for hitting and is able to unlock the small fixes that turn hitters into their best versions of themselves. He understands hitting beyond just swinging and brings invaluable insight passed down to him throughout his major league career. Also, he’s a great guy in general.

Spencer Allen
Director of Player Development
Milwaukee Brewers
Northwestern University Head Coach
Working with Charlie Tilson was an invaluable experience. He possesses a unique ability to build genuine rapport with each athlete, fostering an environment of trust and open communication. This foundation allows him to tailor his coaching approach to individual needs and strengths, maximizing player potential. Charlie’s extensive experience in the big leagues gives him unique insights, but he never imposes a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, he recognizes the qualities of each player and adapts his guidance accordingly. Charlie is a true difference-maker, a coach who deeply understands the ‘Player’ in ‘Player Development.

I am someone who has had the unique experience of taking lessons from Charlie Tilson from the time I was 10 years old to when I became a professional, and to state it simply Charlie’s impact on my career has been profound. Charlie has the unique combination of having played the game at the highest level and having the passion and communication skills to pass his knowledge on to the next generation of ball players. He is someone I consider to be a mentor to me due to his great perspective on life and baseball. I 100% recommend anyone to work with Charlie!!
