Young Phenom Shaping Soccer’s Future | Salt Lake City News
Description
At just 20, Olivia Moultrie is rewriting the playbook in the NWSL—already an MVP contender, she’s breaking barriers from the start: committing to college at 11, signing with Nike by 13, and suing the league at 15 to force change. Her journey, fueled by faith, family, and fierce self-belief, turned her into the youngest pro in the league—and the first girl to play full-time with boys in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. With her father’s lessons on mental toughness and her mother’s unwavering faith, she turned adversity into advantage, even during the legal battle that opened doors for future stars. Now a cornerstone for Portland Thorns and a rising force for the U.S. National Team, Moultrie’s focus? Becoming a legacy by 2027, scoring, assisting, and staying healthy—because she’s not just playing the game, she’s changing it.
