Slacklining Sporting KC goalkeeper John Pulskamp to feature on "MLS Idle: Soccer’s Hidden Talents" on Thursday

At just 19 years old, John Pulskamp has already launched a career in professional soccer as a promising goalkeeper for Sporting Kansas City and the United States youth national teams.

Pulskamp’s dedication to the sport of soccer is evident—very few teenagers are good enough to turn pro—but it’s another skill that will thrust him into the national spotlight this week.

Thursday at 6:30 p.m. CT, Pulskamp will appear on the newest episode of MLS Idle: Soccer’s Hidden Talents, streaming on the MLS Twitter and Facebook platforms. During the program, Pulskamp will showcase the impressive balancing act of slacklining, walking the tightrope from his own backyard.
