Christian Pulisic's soccer roots were detailed in a report shared by The Athletic in 2022. Pulisic, a Pennsylvania native, had soccer in his DNA, as both his parents had played in their prime. Mark and Kelley Pulisic bumped into each other when they were playing for the same US university team. Their love of the game shifted to Christian Pulisic, who was quiet as a kid but also really competitive.

Pulisic's mother shared how competitive her kid was growing up in a report shared by GQ in 2021. Kelly shared a story that when Christian Pulisic was just two years old, he still craved perfection, even when it came to coloring books.

“He would get so frustrated if he went outside of the line, so he would get Wite-Out and put Wite-Out on the area where he had gone over, I'm thinking: Most two-year-olds have no concept of being in the line,” recalled Kelley Pulisic.

The ex-Chelsea player accepted the incident shared by his mum and shared,

“I put a lot of pressure on myself”

Christian Pulisic's obsession with getting things right eventually led to his success. The GQ report also expanded on a trivia point that Pulisic would practice soccer drills by himself in his backyard because he was determined not to rely solely on his dominant foot.

“He said, ‘Okay, I'm going to do 50 with my right leg, now I'm going to do 50 with my left leg,’ he would just get so mad if he couldn't get it. He just would work on it: left foot, left foot, left foot, hitting the upper corner,” shared Kelley.

All the practice reaped rewards for Christian Pulisic on the field, when his two-footedness became the reason that defenders found it hard to mark him.

Gregg Berhalter, coach of the U.S. Men's National Team, explained what made Christian and his game special.

“He can change the game in a matter of seconds, he's able to go one-on-one and split the defense or make a final pass; when he receives it between the lines, the opponent is drawn to him and he can find a free man. He has this ability to go from one state to another very quickly,” shared Gregg Berhalter.

Pulisic may be courageous and fierce on the field, but he's shy and quiet off the field, as per the GQ report.

“I'm a pretty quiet kid, an introverted kind of guy,” explained Christian.

He expands that he doesn't understand social media marketing,

“Doing this stuff, it's not easy for me.”

However, he doesn't stress when it comes to playing his sport instead. Soccer is the sport that gives him purpose and hope.

“That's the easiest part for me, 'cause I don't have to speak, I don't have to show people what kind of person I am. Really, it's just like, I don't know—playing soccer is the easiest way for me to express myself.”
