If home is where the heart is, redshirt junior midfielder Christian Albelo’s heart is in more than one place.
Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Albelo grew up in a military family, which allowed him to play youth soccer and attend high school in Germany. Since he was always on the move, he had to adapt quickly to his new surroundings both on and off the field.
“I think, if anything, that kind of almost made me who I am today,” Albelo said. “It’s helped me with my coachability and also it’s just given me a lot of lifetime experiences that I wouldn’t really trade in for the world.
