Trinity Rodman Shares Harsh Reality on Handling Stardom While Inspiring Fans: “It’s Hard”

Admit it, U.S. fans—don’t you feel a sense of relief knowing the future of women’s soccer is in safe hands? Well, at least we hope so. With players like Trinity Rodman, there’s an instant feeling of security. But even though the young, dynamic forward gives her all to live up to the tag of being the next face of U.S. women’s soccer, carrying the weight of the spotlight isn’t nearly as easy as it might seem.
