America s first true European soccer champion and the captain of
the U.S. men s national team relates his journey from Hershey,
Pennsylvania, to the pinnacle of world soccer. Pulisic s rise from
his childhood in Pennsylvania to captain of the U.S. national team
in the coming World Cup and Champions League glory is ultimately a
story about a lifelong determination to realize a dream. Growing up
in an area without role models, Pulisic would look to European
stars for inspiration and to European soccer as his ultimate goal.
In this book Pulisic talks candidly about his journey so far,
revealing the extraordinary excitement of fulfilling some of his
goals and the great challenges involved. He also shares experiences
from behind the scenes playing for club and country, his most
memorable career moments, moving to a new country without knowing
the language, training drills he s used over the years to hone his
skills, and his daily life as a soccer player. Photographs from his
family albums and some of the world s best sports photographers
document Pulisic s path from his first visit to Chelsea at age
seven to signing for the club for a record transfer fee when he
turned twenty to his defense of the Champions League title and
preparation for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Featuring
dressing-room anecdotes and heartwarming stories, this fascinating
look into the world of a quiet American boy turned soccer star is
the real-life story of every aspiring young American soccer player
s dream and the perfect book for anyone with a passion for the
beautiful game.
