The 1% Club Podcast – Episode: Gustavo Zampieri
In this episode of The 1% Club Podcast, I sit down with coach Gus, a Brazilian-born coach and educator with over two decades of experience across youth clubs, schools, futsal programs, and international-level development.
Gus’ journey has taken him from grassroots soccer in São Paulo to building championship-winning teams in the U.S.—including time with FC Golden State, Elite Futsal Charleston, and reaching the US Youth Futsal International Team.
We talk about:
His transition from Brazil to the U.S. coaching system
The difference between teaching soccer and teaching through soccer
How he develops confident, self-aware players who succeed at the next level
His views on early specialization, burnout, and what’s missing in American youth development
Lessons from over 20 years mentoring athletes and coaches at every level
Whether you’re a coach, a parent, or a young athlete—this episode is packed with wisdom on leadership, mindset, and long-term growth.
