The teenager has made the breakthrough to Schalke's first team this season, but his family helps ensure he doesn't get a big head
Rising American midfielder Weston McKennie relies on his mother to keep him humble, saying she would "bust my chops" if he started behaving like a star.
The 19-year-old has become a regular with Schalke this season, leading many to pencil him in as a future U.S. national team fixture.
But the Texas native isn't letting his success get to his head, and McKennie says that his mom is a driving force in keeping him level headed.
