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.

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.”
