Copied from “Walk with God” on X:
“U.S. goalkeeper Matt Freese says his faith in God has been the driving force behind both his soccer career and personal growth. After making history as the first active MLS goalkeeper to start a World Cup match for the United States, Freese emphasized that his confidence comes from trusting God, often reminding himself, “God’s got me.”
“A lifelong Catholic, Freese has remained committed to attending Mass, studying the Bible, and prioritizing time in Scripture despite the demands of professional soccer. He said his faith became especially important during challenging seasons early in his career, when limited playing time and the COVID-19 shutdown tested his perspective and helped him rediscover his passion for the game.
“Reflecting on his journey, Freese believes God has used both successes and setbacks to teach him valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, selflessness, and sacrifice. He expressed gratitude for the opportunities God has given him and sees his soccer career as part of a larger spiritual journey.”
