She idolized her older brother Brian Rapinoe and started playing soccer at age three after watching him play the sport, but he started using drugs when the girls were in second grade. When she was ten and he was fifteen, he was put in juvenile detention and was thereafter in and out of various prisons. Brian has since made a determined effort to avoid drugs after seeing his younger sister’s success in international soccer. For the sisters, Rachael and Megan, soccer was a means to get away from the drug abuse that is widespread in rural California. Rapinoe spent most of her youth playing with teams coached by her father until high school.

She previously played for the Chicago Red Stars, Philadelphia Independence, and MagicJack in Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS), as well as Olympique Lyon in France’s Division 1 Féminine and currently plays for OL Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), as well as the United States national team.
