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.

REVIEW
Admitted Pulisic / USMNT / Chelsea fan here! LOVED this book as it reveals the big and small moments that have made Pulisic who he is today. The quality of the pictures is phenomenal and I especially loved all the childhood pictures - right down to the ones his Mom took with imprinted dates in the corner. They remind me of all the photos I took of my kids playing sports! Makes their family feel so familiar and normal. The Q/A format is very easy to read. Pulisic is only 24 and busy, so this was excellent choice to best describe his journey without getting bogged down. Loved reading about his pre-game routines, eating habits, life in Germany, splurges, home life, struggles, friendships, everything! I'm glad Pulisic is as private as possible in this very public world. He gives us fans just enough to be satisfied without creating controversy or revealing too much intimacy. I admire his desire to refrain from the social media insanity. My Journey So Far is a substantial book - from its size to the quality and quantity of content. You'll find Christian introspective, well-spoken, and an excellent representative of the USA!
