Biography

Iván Gutiérrez is a visionary football coach and the innovative founder of 1PERCENTFUTBOL, an elite training academy that has revolutionized player development across the globe. Born in the football-rich city of Madrid, Spain, Gutiérrez's journey began on the pitch as a professional player before discovering his true calling in coaching and player development.

With over 15 years of elite coaching experience, Gutiérrez has pioneered a unique methodology that focuses on the marginal gains that separate good players from world-class performers. His philosophy centers on the belief that football excellence comes from perfecting the fundamentals while pushing beyond conventional training boundaries.

After earning his prestigious UEFA Pro License in 2019, Gutiérrez worked with several top-tier youth academies across Europe, where he refined his skills in player development and tactical innovation. His breakthrough came with the development of the revolutionary "1% Methodology" - a comprehensive training system that has produced over 150 professional players.

In 2021, Gutiérrez founded 1PERCENTFUTBOL with the ambitious mission to democratize elite-level training for aspiring players worldwide. The academy has since expanded to over 50 countries, training more than 10,000 players and establishing itself as the global leader in football development innovation.

Playing Career

Before his transition to coaching excellence, Gutiérrez built a distinguished playing career across multiple professional leagues in North America, representing both club and country with unwavering dedication and exceptional skill.
