Rodman was born in Newport Beach, California, to Michelle Moyer and former professional basketball player Dennis Rodman. [9] She and her brother, DJ Rodman, were raised primarily by their mother in southern California. [10] [11] [12] [13] She has a half-sister, Alexis Rodman. [14]
Rodman began playing soccer at age four and said it "felt like home" to her as young as seven or eight. [15] She was encouraged by her mother and sister to pursue her dream of becoming a professional soccer player. [16]
Rodman began playing club soccer with SoCal Blues at the age of ten. [17] [18] Her team won four national championships in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) and maintained a five-year undefeated streak. [17] Rodman attended and played for Corona del Mar High School for one year as a freshman before transferring to JSerra Catholic High School in nearby San Juan Capistrano but did not play for the school. [19]
Rodman initially committed to play collegiate soccer for the UCLA Bruins before deciding to follow her older brother to the Washington State Cougars beginning in the 2020 season. [20] However, she never played a match in college as her freshman season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and she decided to turn professional. [12]
At age 18, Rodman became the youngest player to be drafted in NWSL history when the Washington Spirit selected her as their first draft pick (second overall) at the 2021 NWSL College Draft. [6] [11] [12] Prior to being drafted by the Spirit, Rodman had never been to Washington, D.C. [21]

At age 19, Rodman became the youngest player in league history to record an assist in the playoffs. [30]
On November 17, 2021, Rodman was named NWSL Rookie of the Year and to the NWSL Best XI. [31] [32] She earned U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year honors the following month. [33] On February 2, 2022, Rodman signed a contract extension with the Washington Spirit running until after the 2024 season, with an option for 2025. [34] It was reported that the new contract was worth $1.1 million, making Rodman the highest paid player in NWSL history. [7]

[12] She was nominated for the U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year award the same year, but did not win. [12] She won the award in 2021. [43]
In January 2022, Rodman was named to the senior national team's camp for the first time ahead of the 2022 SheBelieves Cup. [44] She made her national team debut on February 17, 2022, in a 0–0 draw with Czech Republic at the tournament, [45] and scored her first goal on April 12, 2022, in a friendly against Uzbekistan, in her third national team appearance.
