Christian Pulisic wrote a book. In his never-ending march to make you feel even worse about all the things that you never accomplished by the age of 24, you can add “published author” to the list. Sort of.
“Pulisic: My Journey So Far” is indeed a book full of Pulisic’s words, but it’s far more of an extended interview than anything else. Officially credited as “Christian Pulisic-Conversations with Daniel Melamud,” the book is constructed of several conversations between the two, interspersed with a treasure trove of pictures ranging from Pulisic’s baby photos to modern glossy stills of him playing for the United States and Chelsea.
Many USMNT fans have tracked Pulisic’s career for quite some time now, but the book pulls back the curtain on his development and younger years, as well as some more recent triumphs and tribulations. Luckily, we got an advanced copy for the new book and gleaned a few new tidbits of info about the American star.

Pulisic has a soft spot for the city of Detroit
Much has been made of Pulisic’s hometown of Hershey, Pennsylvania, as well as the year he spent in England as a child and how it helped him fall even more in love with the game. Less has been mentioned about Pulisic’s time in Detroit, where Pulisic spent time when his father, Mark, was head coach of the Detroit Ignition in the Major Indoor Soccer League.
