Trinity Rodman is a rising soccer player and is regarded among the top talents in the women's gmae. The 22-year-old athlete appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast recently and shared her thoughts on her pregame rituals and superstitions. She added:

“I have so many little superstitions. So gum is one; I can't live without gum. I'll go through probably three or four pieces of gum a game and if I am going on the field and I don't have gum in my mouth, I'll throw a tantrum, I'm a diva, I need gum; that's the one thing. Screw water, I need gum. Anything peppermint, spearmint,” she shared. [2.33 onwards]

She continued:

“I have to sit in the same spot on the bus on the way to the game every single time. I have to stand in the same spot for warmup behind my girl Tara. At home games, I have to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the locker room. Red Bull's essential for energy.”

In 2022, Rodman was nominated for the Ballon d'Or Féminin. The prominent soccer player is the daughter of five-time NBA champion, former professional basketball player Dennis Rodman.
