Tyler Adams’ latest surgery has provided the American midfielder with a new view on his career.
Adams, who underwent back surgery after his international involvement at the Copa America, is set miss the start of AFC Bournemouth’s English Premier League campaign. The 25-year-old featured in four of the U.S. men’s national team’s matches earlier this summer, including all three group stage matches on home soil.

I won’t miss too much of the beginning part of the season. So hopefully four or five games, three or four maybe. And then hopefully I can just fly through the season and have some consistency.
“I think the biggest thing for me is, throughout the rehab process, throughout the way that I play in games, it’s only 100 percent for me,” he added. “Every single day in training, every single day in games. And I don’t have an ability to tune it down a notch. So sometimes I just need to realize I need to take a step back and just relax a little bit. I’m starting to learn that a little bit more and more. But yeah, I go 100 percent all the time. So yeah, that’s probably why…
