Personal life

Rodriguez is called "A-Rod" by her teammates and soccer commentators.[56]

Rodriguez married fellow USC athlete Adam Shilling on October 8, 2011.[57][58] On January 29, 2013, it was confirmed that Rodriguez and her husband were expecting their first child.[59] On August 6, 2013, their first son, Ryan John Shilling, was born.[60] Rodriguez, along with her husband, is a devout Christian.[61] U.S. Soccer announced Rodriguez was pregnant with her second child when they released an article on December 21, 2015 announcing the roster for the next training camp.[62] Their second child, Luke Shilling, was born on July 1, 2016.

Video Games

Rodriguez was featured along with her national teammates in the EA Sports' FIFA video game series in FIFA 16, the first time women players were included in the game.[63]

Ticker Tape Parade and White House Honor

Following the United States' win at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Rodriguez and her teammates became the first women's sports team to be honored with a Ticker Tape Parade in New York City.[64] Each player received a key to the city from Mayor Bill de Blasio.[65] In October of the same year, the team was honored by President Barack Obama at the White House.[66]
