Trinity Rodman exhibits the same level of intensity on the soccer field as her legendary father, Dennis Rodman, did on the basketball court. The 21-year-old’s exceptional skills have garnered her significant popularity, and her down-to-earth personality has endeared her to fans. She once revealed one particular trait of her father that helped her remain agile and light on her feet during the game. Amongst thousands of fans, this skill even impressed Boston Celtics icon Kevin Garnett.

While DJ Rodman, the son of the basketball icon, is pursuing college basketball with the USC Trojans, Trinity is making her mark in soccer as a striker for the Washington Spirit.

Not just Garnett but 31-year-old Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo also expressed his support and added some fire emojis. Even though Dennis Rodman was noticeably absent from his children’s lives, his 21-year-old daughter managed to acquire a specific skill from her father.

What did Trinity Rodman learn from Dennis Rodman?

During a discussion with the LA Times, the young athlete revealed that she inherited her father’s hunting instinct. While her values were shaped by her mother, Trinity adopted the hunting approach as a means to sharpen her skills.

She added, ?I know he?s proud of me. I truly do. He has his own things to deal with, but at the end of the day, he?s communicated to me that he knows I was going to be here, and that?s all I need.?
