The Christian Pulisic blueprint: How the soccer star’s early life made him a lavish legend
Shining both on and off the field, Christian’s love for the sport became evident as a young child.
His parents Mark and Kelley Pulisic both played college soccer at George Mason University and his father even went on to become a coach at both the adult and youth levels after playing professional indoor soccer with the Harrisburg Heat in the 1990s.
His parents offered him a pressure-free environment to play soccer and just enjoy the game.
And while Mark admitted to Philly.com the family tried to ‘push’ him in ‘other directions, Pulisic was more than happy to embrace the family tradition and he did it phenomenally.
Christian attended the US Soccer Development Academy, during which time he played for the Harrisburg City Islanders and was on the Under 17 United States Men’s National Team.
The prodigy soon caught the eyes of the German club Borussia Dortmund, and the then 16-year-old was soon signed with them.
Just one year later, he became the youngest non-German and the fourth youngest player to score a goal in the history of the German league.
He made headlines at just 20 years old at the beginning of his lavish life when Premier League club Chelsea made him an irresistible $73 million offer, making him the most expensive USMNT soccer player of all time.

What made every soccer fan unable to take their eyes off Christian was his ability to not only shine as a soccer player from a young age, but to excel in Europe, where soccer reigns the most popular sport.
After gaining traction in Europe, the USNMT took a few pointers and made it clear they would revolve their games around their centerpiece – Christian.
In his eyes he was just any other 20-year-old, spending his free time watching NFL and NBA with his friends and playing the sport he loved, but unlike his friends, he was about to experience an even greater whirlwind, becoming forced to guard his social life and revolve everything around his professional life.
After getting a taste of professional soccer as a teenager, with every year that went by the prodigy continued to impress and soon became known as ‘Captain America’ and the ‘LeBron James of soccer’.
He thrived in both Chelsea and USNMT and became known for his impressive skills.
Christian’s skills – which included his impressive speed, dribbling and shooting abilities and the ability to constantly play with full force – saw him earning more money than any player.
Christian makes a whopping $9.3 million a year – which is about five times more than any of his other fellow USMNT teammates.
Other star players such as Weston Mckennie – who makes $2.5 million – Gio Reyna – who makes $2.6 million – and Tim Ream – who makes $1.6 million – don’t even come close to Christian’s stardom.
His achievements have earned him further endorsements that have him racking up even more cash.
With endorsements from major companies such as Gatorade, Chipotle, Panini, Hershey’s, and Puma, Christian is one of the most marketable soccer players thanks to his pull in both Chelsea and as the captain of the USMNT.
From winning the US Soccer Young Male Athlete of the year in 2016 to the CONCACAF Gold Cup Best XI in 20129, there seems to be nothing that stops this soccer star from shining both on and off the field.

Christian frequently travels to beachfront areas and shares waterfront snaps alongside close friends and family.
He also proves that he’s quite the adventurer and often shares photos of him jet skiing, boating and more.
However, he tries to remain as private as possible – guarding his personal life by flooding his social media with images of Christian doing what he does best – playing soccer.
But no matter where he’s going, the star athlete always has his own private chef by his side.
In an interview with GQ, the soccer legend broke down his day-to-day diet letting fans in on how he stays in shape all season around and revealing where some of that big paycheck goes to.
While the USMNT has private chef’s who travel around with the whole team, preparing delicious meals after tough games, Christian revealed that he has his very own personal chef who makes him dinner – specifically ‘spaghetti and meatballs.’
And while Christian claims he can cook, he explained he doesn’t use his culinary skills often, adding that he prefers to let his personal chef ‘work his magic.’
He even broke down his diet on game day and said his go to breakfast meal was none other than trendy and ever so aesthetic avocado toast.
He explained that if he has a game around 3pm, he’ll eat avocado toast around 9:30am and head out for team meetings and eat a meal again about three hours before the game.
Christian revealed that the team’s eating times are ‘strategic’, adding that they make sure to give their bodies enough time to digest the food while still having energy.
Although the soccer star keeps most of his expensive lifestyle hidden, fans can’t help but gush over his skills and personality and are hopeful that new achievements will mean more beachside snaps.
Christian is a key player to keep your eyes on in the 2022 FIFA World Cup which will kick off on November 20 and run through December 18 in Qatar.
