Americas first true European soccer champion and the captain of the U.S. mens national team relates his journey from Hershey, Pennsylvania, to the pinnacle of world soccer.
Pulisics 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.

Photographs from his family albums and some of the worlds best sports photographers document Pulisics 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 players dream and the perfect book for anyone with a passion for the beautiful game.
