About Total Training Academy
Who We Are at Total Training Academy
Our Story
Total Training Academy was founded on two main concepts: the desire to help people and the strong belief that your soccer journey should be enjoyable. We fell in love with the process of training and having to work through all of the challenges that come with personal development. Along that path, soccer has gifted us lifelong friendships, unforgettable lessons, opportunities to travel the world, a deeper connection to family, and the discovery of our bigger purpose. We are motivated daily to help others experience similar joys of how powerful a vehicle for life soccer can be.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help players enjoy their soccer journeys while maximizing their individual development on and off the field.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become Northeast Ohio’s most trusted supplemental soccer program, serving youth through professional levels of all surrounding teams, clubs, and communities.
Our Values
We are fully committed to building long-lasting relationships with our trainees and families, and navigating all matters with class, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. We will work tirelessly to uphold a highly challenging yet highly supportive environment. Our culture will be driven by a growth-mindset mentality that embraces accountability and creates both competitors and leaders who love taking ownership of their development.

EXCELLENT Based on 5 reviews Posted on Eric LamarreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karol is frankly great!! He has developed by daughter for 8 years or so and she continues to play in college and still trains with him when home. He is simply a professional and tailors training to improve technical skills. He has been pivotal to her success on the pitch.Posted on Dan DubnickaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been fortunate over the past 8 or 9 years not only to train with Coach Karol, but also to have him as her club team coach. Karol creates an environment where she has grown tremendously, building her technical ability, soccer IQ, mental strength, and confidence. He has helped her succeed as a highly competitive club player and now as a college student-athlete. He watches closely during matches, reviews videos, and designs training sessions that address exactly what he believes will elevate her game. He always takes the time to explain the “why” behind what they are doing. He did the same for all her teammates who trained with him. His sessions are fast-paced, focused, personalized and, most importantly, enjoyable. I cannot recall a time when she didn’t look forward to training or team practice. Karol is a true student of the game, and it shows. He is genuinely invested in his players and in their long-term success. Whenever she is home and available, I know she will continue to train with Karol throughout college. I highly recommend Coach Karol for soccer training!Posted on Lisa BanachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both of my daughters worked with Coach Karol over the past several years and had very positive experiences. My oldest trained with him one on one and he really helped her continue to improve one vs. one tactics and shooting. My youngest was coached by him for several years and trained with him in small group settings while she dealt with some pretty significant injuries. As a coach I was always impressed at how much time he put into trying to help each individual player improve and grow. I also appreciated the efforts he put in to try and prevent injury having seen multiple players experience ACL tears, including my daughter. Karol knows soccer and puts a lot of time and effort into planning and training and any player would be lucky to work with him.Posted on Jillian KalicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with Coach Karol for over 7 years, both in private sessions and group training, and I can’t say enough great things about him. His coaching is thoughtful, detailed, and incredibly effective. Every session is personally targeted to my individual needs, helping me grow and improve in ways I didn’t think were possible. Karol has a gift for breaking things down and explaining techniques in a way that truly clicks. His deep knowledge, patience, and dedication to his athletes show in every practice. Whether one-on-one or in a group, he always gives his full attention and ensures everyone gets the most out of the session. If you’re looking for a coach who truly cares about your progress and pushes you to reach your potential, I can’t recommend Coach Karol enough!Posted on Kim PribanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Karol has been training my daughter since she was very young. Through his patience and understanding of her technical and mental needs she has grown substantially. She is now in high school and plays ECNL and tells everyone that she credits him for her being where she is. He is different than other trainers because not only does he teach all of the technical soccer skills at a fast pace but he takes the time to explain the why in the most positive environment. There is a reason why when my daughter shows up for training she gets to chat with current pro players leaving their training. Cannot recommend training here more!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
