Instead of being burdened by growing expectations, he has raised his level as the attention surrounding him has increased.
He already seems capable of progressing beyond the North American league. However, staying at this level in his hometown, close to his family and alongside his 22-year-old brother Quinn at the Union, could benefit him for a little longer, regardless of the opportunities available before his move to City.
“I think he is coping with all the pressure remarkably well,” Tannenwald said.
“Spend enough time speaking with him and it becomes clear that he is still a teenager, learning how to navigate certain situations just like anyone else his age.
“He may sometimes appear overly confident, but he remains level-headed, thanks not only to Richter but also to the presence of his eldest brother in the dressing room.
“Beyond football, Sullivan benefits from a close and supportive family. His parents, Brendan and Heike, both played the sport, while his grandfather Larry developed from a player in the 1960s into one of the Philadelphia area’s most respected coaches.
“They also help Cavan remain humble, despite recognizing that he is the most talented player in the family.”
