During her presence on the courts, Rapinoe, twice crowned world champion with the US National Team, won a Olympic gold medalist in 2012as well as a French Cup, two domestic championships, and three Super Cups.

In fact, Rapino, in addition to her great career on the courts, has also recorded remarkable philanthropic and activist activity, having declared herself a supporter of LGBTQ+ communitywhile in 2013, he received an honorary award from the Gay Board of Los Angeles.

Among others, he was included in 100 most influential people of Time magazine in 2020 while two years later he received the Medal of Freedom from the US president, Joe Biden.

Also notable was her confrontation with Donald Trump in 2015 when she said that if her national team won the Women’s World Cup, she would not go to the White House because of his homophobic statements.
