In addition, in 2022 she became the highest-earning NWSL player of all time with a base salary of $281,000 each year in a four-year contract. Trinity spoke to ESPN about inheriting athletic abilities from her parents, Michelle Moyer and Dennis Rodman.
“With my mom’s and my dad’s genes, me and my brother excelled in a lot of sports,” Trinity said. The athlete then detailed that she recognized soccer as the sport she was most passionate about from the time she was a kid. “I realized that soccer was going to be my thing when I couldn’t accept that people could play a sport just for fun… I knew that my heart was in the game, and I wanted to push myself as far as I could go,” Trinity said. Furthermore, Trinity played her first game for the U.S. women’s national team in 2022, via The Sporting News.
