Sebastian Berhalter joins Meghan Klingenberg on the U.S. Soccer Podcast for a conversation about his move from MLS to England and the moments that have made him one to watch for the U.S. Men’s National Team.
Sebastian shares what it’s like playing for Middlesbrough FC, how the intensity of English soccer compares with MLS, and what he’s learned from living abroad alongside fellow American players like Aidan Morris and Max Arfsten. He also reflects on the USMNT’s recent momentum with four straight wins in fall camp, stepping into a leadership role with younger players and the latest edition of the USA–Mexico rivalry.
Plus, Sebastian reveals the story behind the viral TikTok with his teammates, talks books and morning routines, and opens up about the self-belief and hard work that helped him keep pushing toward his goals. He also shares how his relationship with his dad, Greg Berhalter, has evolved.
Stay tuned for Ask the Pros, when Megan answers questions from U.S. Soccer fans.
