Joseph was awarded 2013 player of the year for his high school and made the All Star selection in that year. Unlike his dad, he has chosen to play in a defensive position preferring the defensive midfield and right back positions. The younger Joseph admires Germanys Phillip Lahm and Kyle Walker of England. he however wants to make his own name for himself and is determined to do so in the next few years.
