Chris Mueller’s pre-match ritual is relatively simple.
Mueller, like he does with most things, approaches the minutes before a match starts with a level head. He’ll read a bit the day of a match, but it’s mostly a normal day.
“Honestly, I try not to think too much about the game until I get out there, really,” he told Pro Soccer USA. “I don’t want to overthink anything and get too hyped or too much in my own head thinking about what I want to do.”
That’s the key to Mueller’s success. It’s what is making him a star for the Lions at 22 years old.
