To be a superstar soccer player, one should have the skill set and the mindset to go to the next level. But to be a legend, confidence plays a key role. It is here that Megan Rapinoe comes into the picture. Megan is one of the finest USWNT players and completely dominates her opponents. Achieving the level of confidence, for starters, is difficult. For this, she credits her family and other important people in her life.

In an interview, Rapinoe stated where she received her upbeat nature. Significantly, she not only plays well but involves in various social matters to create a change in society. She gave credit to the people surrounding her for making an amicable atmosphere for her to thrive.
Megan Rapinoe steps up no matter what!
In the interview, Rapinoe talks about surrounding herself with other superstar athletes as it helps her to voice her opinions with no judgments. She said, “Oh, gosh. I do think I was born confident. Also, I almost didn’t grow up in regular society: I’ve always been around all these other superconfident, very successful female athletes, and we allow ourselves space to be however we are.”

Similarly, she has played with other USWNT legends like Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Hope Solo, Lauren Holiday, and many more. She won trophies with these women and paved the way for younger USWNT stars to adopt the same winning mentality. She continued, “I’ve been very lucky to be on incredible teams that win, which gives you positive feelings.”
Alas, she credits her mother, her fiance Sue Bird, and other influential family members in her life. Not afraid to say the truth to her, Bird and her parents play a critical role in her life. She continued, “And I get honest feedback from people I really, really love: my mom; my sister; my partner, Sue; and my teammates, who don’t care if I’m famous and give it to me real.”
