National Women's Soccer League star Trinity Rodman is back on the pitch with the Washington Spirit this season.

The 22-year-old is looking to make her mark after making her Olympics debut with the U.S. women's national soccer team at the 2024 Paris Olympics last year.

Although Rodman is the daughter of five-time NBA champion basketball player Dennis Rodman and his ex-wife Michelle Moyer, she is stepping out of her famous father's shadow and carving a legacy all her own.

"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 at the time. "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."

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."
