Mueller previously started a book club called Be The Best, where he shares books and advice about life. Aside from challenging himself on the field, heā€™s dedicated to improving his mentality and mindset through the written word.

ā€œMy goal is to inspire you to tune out the noise, rise to the occasion and Bet On Yourself,ā€ Mueller wrote on Twitter.

Mueller, whoā€™s now in his fourth MLS season, is coming off a career year in Orlando as head coach Oscar Pareja steered the Lions to their first Audi MLS Cup Playoff berth. He had 10g/7a in 22 games, leading to his first USMNT call-up. The 24-year-old even bagged two goals and one assist in his international debut, a 6-0 win over El Salvador.
