About
paul johnson

Proven Sports-Specific Trainer and Founder

For over a decade, Paul Johnson has helped athletes reach their full potential.

Johnson has first-hand experience playing for the US National team, being offered a pro contract at 16 y/o, and playing professional soccer for a number of years. He also has a plethora of coaching experience, coaching at the club and NCAA level. In one sentence -  Johnson knows what it takes.

Johnson founded the Goat Lab on the premise that occasional or casual training was not enough. Instead, Johnson created a proprietary framework that helps athletes excel in all aspects of life.

 

This holistic training approach develops athletes not only technically, but also physically, and tactically. Furthermore, Johnson believes that athletes must be supported off the field, and offers his athletes mental conditioning, tutoring consulting, and recruiting help.

Johnson has helped propel athletes of all ages and skill levels - from 22-year-old pros down to 5-year-old recreational players.
