The CT Training Team
Charlie Tilson
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 them unlock their fullest potential.
Brian Schlitter
A Chicago-area native and Maine South High School alum, Schlitter began his professional journey after being drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2007. He played in the MLB for the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics, and gained international experience with Japan’s Saitama Seibu Lions.
Brian’s vast experience gives him a deep understanding of both the mental and mechanical aspects of pitching, offering insights on everything from pitch sequencing and bullpen routines to handling adversity on the mound.
Anthony Calarco
Anthony holds the single-season home run record at New Trier High School. He played collegiately at Northwestern, where he was a First Team All-Big Ten performer, then transferred to Ole Miss, where he started at first base for the Rebels. He was later signed by the Texas Rangers and currently plays for the Schaumburg Boomers.
