On Oct. 10, 2017, Tyler Adams sat watching with his stepfather, Darryl Sullivan, as the U.S. Men’s National Team underwent calamity.
Coming into the night, the Americans needed only to beat Trinidad and Tobago to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Even with a draw or loss, Panama and Honduras still needed to win for the U.S. to be completely knocked out.
Tyler Adams, who has 32 caps for the US men’s national team, played for the Red Bulls earlier in his career.A month later, Adams received his first call-up for the team in a friendly against Portugal. And the Hudson Valley native, who graduated from Poughkeepsie’s Roy C. Ketcham High School in 2017, won’t just be in midfield Monday in Qatar when the United States returns to the World Cup in its group-stage opener against Wales.
From a young age, Adams was confident in his abilities and stood out for his work habits. Coaches needed to tell him to back off and save his energy, instead of pushing so hard all the time. Even though Sullivan, a social studies teacher, worked in education, he’s also coached NCAA soccer. The family knew Adams’ future was in soccer and made sacrifices accordingly.
