🎙️ The 1% Club Podcast – Episode with Abraham Villon
In this episode, I sit down with professional soccer player “AB” Villon, a leader, competitor, and someone I had the honor of coaching during our time together at the Los Angeles Force.
From being the captain of a professional team in the NISA to his current role in the coaching world, AB’s story is one of growth, resilience, and constant evolution. He opens up about the sacrifices behind his journey—from college soccer to the pro level—and how leadership isn't about shouting louder, but showing up consistently.
We talk about:
What it means to lead from the front—even in silence
How setbacks and losses shaped his mentality
The shift from player to coach and what it takes to make that leap
Why showing up daily and trusting the process is the real win
And the moments he thought about walking away… but didn’t
AB’s story is raw, real, and full of lessons that apply far beyond the game.
