Meet CJ Wright
Success doesn't happen by chance—it happens through discipline, leadership, and taking the right steps forward.
CJ Wright is a mentor, coach, author, entrepreneur, and community leader dedicated to helping individuals, athletes, students, and professionals unlock their full potential. A native of Hampton, Virginia, and former collegiate athlete, CJ has built his life's work around empowering others to grow with confidence, purpose, and resilience.
Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur, CJ spent more than a decade in the mental health field, serving as a QMHP as well as Program Supervisor for a mental health agency. During that time, he developed a deep understanding of human behavior, leadership, and personal development while helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve meaningful progress. Those experiences shaped his unique ability to connect with people, inspire change, and lead with empathy.
Today, CJ combines his background in athletics, mental health, leadership, and personal development to create transformative experiences for people of all ages.
As the owner of a basketball training program, CJ goes beyond teaching the game. He helps young athletes develop the discipline, confidence, character, and mental toughness needed to succeed both on and off the court. His coaching philosophy focuses on building complete individuals—not just better players.
As the founder of The Wright Step Forward, CJ works with schools, organizations, and businesses to develop stronger leaders, healthier cultures, and more engaged teams. Through impactful character development programs, leadership training, motivational speaking, and professional development workshops, he equips individuals with practical tools to grow personally and professionally.
Whether he's mentoring a student, training an athlete, coaching a leader, or speaking to an audience, CJ's mission remains the same: to help people recognize their potential, embrace growth, and take meaningful action toward their goals.
If you're looking for a speaker who inspires, a coach who develops champions, or a leader who helps individuals and organizations move forward with purpose, CJ Wright is committed to helping you take the next step.
Your next level starts with the right step forward.
