The father of the tiger will naturally cultivate the tiger girl. Recently, in a warm-up match between the U.S. women's soccer team and the Czech women's soccer team, a player named Trinity Rodman attracted everyone's attention.
From her last name, it can be seen that she is the daughter of former NBA superstar "Big Bug" Dennis Rodman, and this game is her debut in the adult national team of the U.S. women's soccer team.
It is reported that in this SheBelieve Cup match, the U.S. women's soccer team shook hands with the Czech women's soccer team 0-0. Since the U.S. women's soccer team did not select famous players such as Alex Morgan and Rapinoe, head coach Andonovsky also recruited a number of young players, including the 19-year-old Trinity.
Trinity's father is one of the NBA's most maverick superstars. As a player, Rodman's hair color, accessories and tattoos, as well as his out-of-the-box moves and words and deeds, became the topic of conversation as much as his rebounding ability. And his love history is also colorful, the most famous is his relationship with the popular diva Madonna.
Rodman's first marriage lasted only 82 days. His first wife, Annie Bakes, began dating in 1987, shortly after Rodman entered the NBA, and their daughter, Alexis Caitlin, was born in 1988.
In 1992, the two entered the palace of marriage, but the marriage lasted only 82 days, which was like a child's play. It is reported that the marriage between the two was full of allegations of infidelity and domestic violence.
On November 14, 1998, Rodman and the famous Actress Carmen Electra married in Las Vegas, but only 9 days later, Rodman filed for divorce on the grounds that he was "mentally unsound" when he got married, in short, impulsive. Later, the two reconciled. But in April 1999, Carmen also filed for divorce, claiming that being Rodman's girlfriend was harmful.
As recently as 1999, Rodman fell in love with Michelle Moyer, Trinity's birth mother. Before Trinity was born, Michelle also gave birth to a son, Dennis Jr. for Rodman.
In 2003, on Rodman's 42nd birthday, he married Michelle, but a year later the woman filed for divorce, and the two officially broke up in 2012. It is reported that Rodman still owes Michelle $860,000 in child support.
Inheriting his father's athletic talents, Rodman's children are mostly involved in sports. Dennis Jr. entered Washington State University in 2019 as a member of the varsity men's basketball team, while Trinity embarked on the path of professional football.
Trinity was born on May 20, 2002 in Newport Beach, California. She is 1.78 meters tall and plays as a striker in the team. As early as the age of 10, Trinity began to compete in women's soccer, winning 4 national championships, and her team also maintained an impressive record of unbeaten for 5 consecutive years.
At first, Trinity promised to join UCLA, but then she changed her mind and decided to join Washington State university with her brother Dennis Jr. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Trinity did not play in a college women's football tournament and decided to join the professional league.
In the 2021 NWSL (U.S. Women's Premier League) Draft, Trinity was selected by the Washington Spirit with the 2nd overall pick, becoming the youngest player in NWSL draft history.
On April 10, 2021, Trinity made her career debut in the NWSL Challenger Cup, after winning the NWSL championship and winning the Golden Boot. On November 17 of the same year, Trinity was named NWSL Newcomer of the Year and named to the NWSL Team of the Year.
A month later, Trinity was named The Nation's Women's Soccer Player of the Year. Over the course of a season, Trinity played 29 league games, starting 25 games, playing 2,054 minutes, scoring eight goals and seven assists with 36 goals on goal.
(From the above GIF we can see that Trinity is full of talent, 1.78 meters tall and Kylian Mbappe, speed and strength in the women's football is very advantageous, in addition to her left and right feet balanced can shoot, like the young C Ronaldo and the current Mappe)
At the beginning of her career, she performed so dazzlingly that Trinity naturally did not worry about "money". On February 2 of this year, she and the team renewed a new contract that expires in 2025 and can be jumped out in the final year. There are reports that the new contract totals $1.1 million, which also makes Trinity the highest-paid player in NWSL league history.
Trinity's performance naturally won the favor of the U.S. women's soccer team. She played 165 minutes and delivered an assist with the U.S. Women's Soccer Team at the U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay in 2018. In 2020, Trinity participated in the U-20 Women's World Cup with the U.S. women's soccer team, scoring 9 goals and receiving a nomination for the National Young Women's Athlete of the Year.
Young but already skilled, Trinity's performance did not discredit her star father's face. Moreover, unlike Rodman, who comes from the "bad boy piston" and behaves obediently, Trinity has been a "good girl" in everyone's eyes since joining NWSL, and has never violated the law. Presumably, this has also made many fans who have doubts about Trinity because of their father breathe a sigh of relief.
Rodman was a great success in the NBA that year. He was named an All-Star twice, won the Championship five times, was named Rebounding King seven times, was named to the All-Team of the Year twice, was named to the Defensive Team eight times, and was named Defensive Player of the Year twice.
