In this episode of The 1% Club Podcast, I sit down with Louis Hunt, a coach whose journey has spanned continents, player levels, and every angle of the game. From the UK to the U.S., from youth clubs to the San Diego Wave, Louis has coached and mentored some of the best young talent in American soccer—always with a deep respect for long-term development and human growth.

We dive into his coaching origins, the mentors and philosophies that shaped him, and his transition from youth coaching into national team environments with the U.S. YNTs and the USWNT U23s. Louis opens up about what it means to truly develop players—not just tactically or physically, but mentally and emotionally.

This conversation is packed with wisdom for coaches, parents, and ambitious players—and shows why the best teachers in the game never stop learning.

🎧 Tune in and hear what it takes to develop the next generation—the right way.
