In this episode of The 1% Club Podcast, I sit down with Guilherme Henry—a Brazilian-born coach whose path through the world of football has taken him from youth soccer in Brazil all the way to the NCAA in the U.S.

Guilherme has coached and led at every level: from USL 2, youth academies, and USL Academy Championships, to now coaching at UAlbany in NCAA Division I. His journey is filled with lessons on adaptability, leadership, player development, and the power of building a culture that values the whole person—not just the athlete.

We talk about:✅ What it takes to coach and lead across different cultures and age groups
✅ How to build a development environment that balances winning with growth
✅ The lessons Guilherme learned as a recruiter, technical director, and head coach
✅ Why emotional intelligence, structure, and vision are key to long-term success
✅ What makes elite players and teams stand out beyond just talent

We also reflect on the pivotal moments in Guilherme’s journey—moments where everything could have gone a different direction, but he chose to push forward, trust the process, and keep building brick by brick.

Whether you’re a coach, player, or leader of any kind, this episode is a masterclass in growth, humility, and mindset.
