“That Moment Can Do for Someone”- USWNT Star Mallory Swanson Discusses Significance of Strong Fan-Player Interaction Bonds

With each passing day, the chances of Mallory Swanson making a comeback before the World Cup haven getting slimmer. Fans couldn’t believe their eyes. Thousands stood in shock as they took Swanson off the pitch. She had gone through the surgery and they reviled that she had torn her patella tendon.

This was a devastating blow as fans were looking forward to the impact she would have been making in the major tournament in July. Now that she is almost out for the rest of the season, the USWNT manager Vlatko Andonovski will have to scramble for a replacement.

There are plenty of options, from Trinity Rodman to first-pick of 2023 NWSL draft Alyssa Thompson, who also started in the 2nd match against Ireland. Come what may, fans will miss their superstar, as she is a magical scorer and a humble personality who stays connected with her fans.

Mallory Swanson takes time with fans

Mallory Swanson recently had an interview with the People outlet. In the talk, she put a great emphasis on how her main motive during fan interactions is to motivate them as Tennis legends Serena Williams and Mia Hamm once inspired her.

Talking about her priorities in fan interaction Swanson said, “I always try to take the time with fans because you never really know what that moment can do for someone, and how that moment can change the trajectory of their career or their school life or whatever it is.”

“There have been sometimes where people have definitely cried and I’ve been like, ‘It’s okay. It’s like me, I’m literally you.’ So connecting with those girls and those fans is super for sure.” These quotes are enough to justify the respect and admiration Mallory Swanson gets from her fans.
