For Chase Miller, soccer has never been just a game — it’s been a journey shaped by discipline, belief, and an unwavering work ethic.

Chase began playing soccer at just four years old, but it wasn’t until age 10 that the sport truly captured his heart. That was the moment he decided to fully commit himself, setting his sights on the dream of one day playing professionally. Years later, that same dedication has carried him to a major milestone: committing to Princeton University.

A central midfielder for Forest Hills Northern, Chase is known for his intelligence on the ball, tireless motor, and leadership in the middle of the field. His work ethic has been his greatest strength, and it’s something that extends far beyond soccer. In the classroom, Chase has climbed to the top of his class, earning a remarkable 4.376 GPA while challenging himself academically.

His accolades reflect that balance of excellence on and off the field, including AP Scholar, AP Scholar with Distinction, National Honor Society, Academic Gold Award, and selection to the U17 USA Futsal National Team.

At the club level, Chase competes with Midwest United in MLS NEXT, continuing to develop against some of the nation’s top competition while preparing for the next chapter of his career.

Chase credits his growth not only to the game, but to the people around him. He strives to be a strong son, brother, and friend, carrying the same commitment and accountability into every area of his life. That mindset has helped shape him into the player — and person — he is today.

As he prepares to take his talents to Princeton, Chase remains focused on the long-term vision that’s driven him since childhood. His dreams are big, and he’s never been afraid of the work required to chase them.

Two quotes that guide him say it best:

“If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.”
“In order to be the 1%, you must do what the other 99% won’t.”

With his dedication, intelligence, and relentless drive, Chase Miller’s journey is only just beginning — and the best is still ahead.
