This amazing picture of U.S. Women's National Team member Rose Lavelle as a young girl shows the power of role models! Lavelle grew up idolizing soccer star Mia Hamm, and this year, the 24-year-old midfielder became America's breakout star of the FIFA Women's World Cup, scoring three goals, including THAT clinching second goal against the Netherlands in the final. For her stellar performance, she was awarded the Bronze Ball, recognizing her as the third best player of the tournament. After the match, her elementary school, St. Vincent Ferrer School Cincinnati, shared this photo of Lavelle dressed up for a school book sharing project with the words: "Now, little girls everywhere look up to her, and will be working hard to become like Rose."

It was a stunning rise for a player who, four years ago, watched the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) win their third title on TV at a pizza party. Lavelle, a Cincinnati, Ohio native, fell in love with soccer at an early age. She was a top competitive soccer player throughout her high school and college years, and as a junior at University of Wisconsin-Madison, she was named a first-team All-American by the NSCAA. She started training with the USWNT in 2015, and made her first appearance on the field with the national team in March 2017. "I feel like I came at a cool time where there was a wave of new people coming in, but there was also still a lot of older veterans on the team, too," she shared in a recent interview. "[They are] so professional in how they carry themselves both on and off the field."

Lavelle says that having those role models helped her develop confidence once she joined the demanding USWNT. "Abby [Wambach] was like, 'To the younger players who haven't been here, this environment is super competitive. It's not that it ever gets easier, but the players that are here the longest make it look easy'.... It just made me realize, it's not gonna get any easier. You're gonna have to keep fighting, day in and day out, for a spot on this team, but it makes it all the more rewarding when you do earn it." And, she has this advice for the kids who will now be looking up to her as a role model: "For anyone, any young girl... just love what you do and don't let anyone tell you, you can't do it."

Also this badass won the Bronze Ball in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
