USWNT forward Trinity Rodman carries the famous last name of her father, Dennis. But she shapes her own ‘limitless’ future.
. “I’ve gotten closure with it all, and I know he’s proud of me. I truly do. He has his own things to deal with, but he’s communicated to me that he knew I was going to be here [with the national team], and that’s all I need.”
She also said she admired his game mentality, “even the days he didn’t prepare the best when he was out partying. … It doesn’t even matter what he was doing the night before, what he was doing the morning of; he was there every single game. You can’t take that away from him. His mentality was insane. I mean, he laid it all on the line.”“My last name has always been a factor, especially before I made my own way,” Rodman said. “But there’s always expectations and questions that I had before.
After rising through the youth national team program, Rodman made her senior debut in February 2022. With the World Cup just 17 months away and her international experience limited, the timetable seemed too tight to contend for a roster slot.
