Ben Shelton's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman, has suffered from back issues since her rookie season in 2021. After winning Olympic gold last year in Paris, her back tightness worsened, and she has been trying to recover from it this entire year.

"I was doing a lot of work behind the scenes by myself. I was getting fit, obviously, not in a team environment, which was kind of difficult to replicate as best I could by myself," she said.

"But yeah, I was working a lot on my endurance. I was working a lot on getting my back to work the way that it should, and kind of tweaking certain things in the way that I moved. So, yeah, feels great to be back. Trainings have been amazing since I've been back, and I'm just going to keep building," Rodman added.

Hopefully, it's up and up from here for Trinity Rodman as she gets back to playing soccer.
