Built Not Born — The GSI Gunners Podcast

Listen for free

Real conversations about developing players the right way. No shortcuts. No politics. Just growth.

Hosted by youth soccer coach and GSI Gunners founder Markens Benoit — Built Not Born is the podcast for parents, players, and coaches who are tired of a system that prioritizes winning over development, results over confidence, and politics over potential.

Every episode tackles the real issues in youth soccer — fear, burnout, overcoaching, tryout culture, creativity, and what it actually takes to develop a great player and a great person.

Because greatness isn't born. It's built. One rep, one conversation, one right decision at a time.
