The soccer<\/a> journey of Christian Pulisic<\/a> has taken him from Hershey, Pennslyvania, to Dortmund, Germany, to London, England, to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar<\/a>. And in between, the Chelsea and USMNT star has made history, broken records, and become the most expensive American soccer player ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At just 24 years old, Pulisic has accomplished more in both professional European football and international soccer tournaments than almost any other American in history. In a sport traditionally dominated by South Americans and Europeans, “Captain America” has become a bonafide star and made millions in salary and endorsements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But who is<\/em> Christian Pulisic? Below, you\u2019ll find everything you need to know about the USMNT star, ranging from personal information to his statistics to the top stories he inspired throughout \u2014 and beyond \u2014 his playing days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Christian Pulisic is a proud son of Hershey, Pennsylvania, but his late childhood took him across the country and across the Pond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Christian was seven, his mother, Kelley, spent a year teaching in Tackley, Oxfordshire, England, as part of the Fulbright exchange program. During that time, Christian got his first taste of European football playing for the youth side of Brackley Town FC in Brackley, Northamptonshire, England, a small town about halfway between London and Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the family\u2019s year abroad, the Pulisic clan moved back to the States, and Christian\u2019s father, Mark, a former college and professional indoor soccer player, took a job as the general manager of the Detroit Ignition. The team was part of the now-defunct Major Indoor Soccer League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During his time in Michigan, Christian attended Workman Elementary School in Canton Township and played for the local soccer club, the Michigan Rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2008, the family returned to the Hershey area. Christian played for the U.S. Soccer Development Academy club, the PA Classics, while also training with local professional club Harrisburg City Islanders, coached by his dad\u2019s former Harrisburg Heat teammate, Bill Becher.<\/p>\n\n\n\nArticle Contents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
