“For me, the biggest thing with the Olympics or the World Cup or any large-scale tournament in general is that I feel like each is an opportunity to change the women’s game in one way or another,” Rodman said in part. “Whether that’s expanding the fan base, showing off different styles of play, [demonstrating] creativity in the way we play and the way we score, the way we celebrate; if it’s fashion, if it’s swag, I think all of these major tournaments are huge platforms that we can use in such an amazing way.”

Outside of the Olympics, Rodman is a forward for the Washington Spirit and wears a No. 2 jersey. She has been playing soccer since the age of 4 and made history in 2021 when at 18, she was drafted by the Spirit, becoming the youngest player to be drafted in the history of the National Women’s Soccer League.

She added “author” to her long list of achievements in May 2022 with the publication of a children’s book called “Wake Up and Kick It.”
Aside from soccer, Rodman also told Vogue she loves to embrace her creative side with drawing, painting and writing, and connecting with fans on TikTok. She has also said she loves to spend time with her family and boyfriend Trinity Benson, an NFL wide receiver.
