HI, I'M JOHANN
Head Coach at Global Evolution Training
& Former Professional Soccer Player
I was a professional soccer player for 13 years and have been training clients for over a decade. Combining my soccer experience with certifications in Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) and Functional Range Assessment (FRA), I focus on improving mobility, strength, and proprioception. Understanding where you are in time and space is crucial for strength, effective movement, and injury prevention. My goal is to help clients move better and feel stronger, ensuring sustainable progress in their fitness journey.

The body is complex, I am here to help you understand yours.

CHOOSE YOUR WORKOUT
As a coach and trainer, I offer a wide range of fitness services and training styles. Choose from a wide array of existing training options or design your own. If you can’t find the service you’re looking for, contact me today.
The goal is to make my clients as familiar with their body as possible while mitigating injury, building strength, and even rehabilitating previous injuries.
MOBILITY
Building a soccer player is like building a house and you must start at the base. The base is technique. I concentrate on technique more than anything else. If you are a master at the basics you will have a foundation to build upon. The first session is about analyzing the player and determining their weaknesses. We will then target those areas and eventually make them strengths. The training sessions are very specific to individual players depending on the position they play, their personality, and their skill level.
SOCCER
TRAINING
This is a full body assessment of the capability of your joints. I will be able to see where you are limited in terms of joint movement. The limitations in our bodies have the potential to cause injuries or are the cause of current injuries. After this assessment we will have an idea of your limitations and will begin working from there.
FUNCTIONAL RANGE ASSESSMENT
SAQ
TRAINING
Speed, Agility, and Quickness training is incredibly important for the modern athlete. If the individual can safely move their body in an efficient manner, SAQ will be implemented into the sessions or can be a session within itself. I will use my soccer & track and field experience to make sure my clients use the proper technique and run as efficiently as possible. My ultimate goal is to get players to reach their top speed as safely as possible.
SUCCESS STORIES
"I am a professional soccer player in Major League Soccer. I have been training with Johann for a number of years before I was drafted and continued to work with him currently as a pro. Coach Johann has been able to evaluate and develop training sessions that are suitable to help my game. Johann’s professionalism, experience, and knowledge has been a beneficial source for me to improve my mind, body, and game."

FC CINCINNATI (FORWARD)
"The same way that there is a mechanic for your car there are people that specialize in helping athletes maintain their body at an optimum level. Johann Smith is one of them. What is special about Johann is that he has been through it. When it comes to Johann, I not only trust his education in the field I trust his 13 years of experience as a professional player. We as athletes have been around a lot of trainers and doctors so when we have a choice, we want the best. I highly recommend Johann for the excellent service and knowledge he provides. I only wish I had exposure to someone like Johann when I was in my prime."
JULIUS JAMES
FORMER PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYER & ACADEMY COACH
"As a former player who struggled with injuries that have carried over to my coaching career, I always felt stiff and limited in my mobility. I focus on teaching our players how important flexibility, and strength in that flexibility is to avoiding injury. After trying the work outs with Johann and listening to our players feed back it is clear that in a short amount of dedicated time a day how good it can be for your health."
