Christian Pulisic

LeBron James has always been the biggest one - I just love to watch him. I'm a big fan, and he's a big inspiration of mine. ”

I love having the ball, just running with it, and going through difficult situations. It's just fun for me whenever I have it. ”

I love watching the game, and I loved watching the World Cup. ”

Being with Dortmund and playing in more big games there, it's just gaining experience. ”

My family, and just the people around me in my life - you know, my friends - they take care of me, and whenever I'm too high, they bring me right down, and when I'm too low, they pick me up. ”

I'm pretty quiet, but my best quality is leading by example. ”

I'm not super outgoing, but I think the biggest thing I can do is lead by example. ”

Of course I always dream big, but I don't put a plan out for myself. ”

In my hometown, people I didn't even know started to recognize me: 'Oh, you're that kid that's doing well over there in Europe and with the national team!' ”

My coaches taught me a lot is about taking the first touch positive, and I think that's what I've tried to base my game off of. A big part of it is being aggressive. ”
