We are delighted to highlight Sebastian Adasme as our October Athlete of the Month!

Adasme plays primarily as a winger for the 2014 Elite team.

"Sebastian has shown tremendous growth this month, and throughout the entire Fall season," said 2014B Elite Head Coach Alex Earl. "He has put together several impressive performances lately but most importantly, he has demonstrated several of the CFC Core Values notably, respect (to coaches, teammates and officials), discipline (does more than is asked) and commitment (has perfect attendance this Fall). Well done, Sebastian!"

Sebastian's mother, Sara Fuller, also gave her perspective on her son's recent growth and achievements.

"Sebastian has been chasing the game for more than half his life. Ever since he first stepped onto the field at age 5, he’s carried a dream of going pro, not just for the glory, but because he wants to change the world for the better. That vision has shaped the way he plays and the way he treats others: with respect, encouragement, and the belief that every player matters and has something to bring to the game.

Known by his teammates as a gentle giant at 5’4”, Sebastian is quick to laugh, make a joke or lift someone’s spirits off the field. But the moment the match begins, that playful energy sharpens into fierce focus. With his skill, drive and ability to read the game several steps ahead, he becomes the kind of player every team wants: the one who raises the level of everyone around him. His soccer IQ and leadership on the pitch prove that his dedication is paying off.

What sets Sebastian apart most is his thoughtfulness. He notices the strengths in every teammate and makes sure they know it. He’s the first to cheer when someone tries something new, the one who sees potential in others and helps them build on it. He listens to his coaches, leads by example, and carries the “we’re all in this together” mindset that makes soccer more than just a sport, it makes it a family. 

Off the field, he balances it all by keeping his grades up, finishing his homework and setting a strong example for his two younger brothers. He loves concerts, being outdoors, riding four-wheelers, sleepovers with friends and singing. He takes school seriously and has even been part of the county choir program. He spent a few holidays in Chile with his dad’s family, playing soccer the South American way - fast, competitive, and full of impressive skill. It wasn’t always easy, but it taught him a lot and gave him some great experience.

At home, he’s an amazing big brother to his two younger brothers - funny and protective. His dream is to make it far enough in soccer that he can give back and help make the game more accessible for kids who might not have the same opportunities."

Everyone at Chattanooga Football Club celebrates Sebastian and his amazing accomplishments on and off the field.
