HI, I'M JOHANN
Head Coach at Global Evolution Training · Bay Area FRC & Performance
I’m Johann Smith — head coach at Global Evolution Training. I played professional soccer for 13 years, including the English Premier League (Bolton Wanderers) and MLS, plus top divisions in Sweden and Croatia. I’ve coached and trained clients for over a decade. I’m certified in Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), Functional Range Assessment (FRA), and NASM, with additional education in fascia and movement through Anatomy Trains — Fascia in Movement. I also hold a BA in History and an MA in Philosophy from Stanford. Based in the Bay Area / Northern California. In-person by appointment; remote nationwide. The body is complex. My job is to help you understand yours — so you move better, get stronger, and stay available for the life and sport you actually care about.

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."
RASHAWN DALLY
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."
