Megan Rapinoe — Soccer
Sprung from the sun-kissed expanse of California, Megan Rapinoe, at the zenith of her soccer career at 34, commands respect as a formidable winger and an inspiring leader for both OL Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and the United States national squad.
Her exceptional command over the spherical leather earned her the coveted title of the Best FIFA Women’s Player in 2019. An invaluable cornerstone of the national squad’s triumphs, Rapinoe clinched gold in the 2012 London Summer Olympics and the 2015 and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Off-field, she exhibits her entrepreneurial spirit, co-founding the gender-neutral lifestyle brand re-inc.
Sloane Stephens — Tennis
Originating from the radiant lands of Florida, Sloane Stephens has sculpted her legacy as one of the preeminent American tennis virtuosos, second only to the legendary Williams sisters. Descending from a lineage of college-level swimmers and professional American footballers, Stephens rapidly ascended to global prominence among tennis devotees.
In 2017, she etched her name onto the U.S. Open trophy and, a year later, catapulted herself to a career zenith of No. 3 worldwide post-Wimbledon. Now at the age of 27, Stephens exhibits no signs of relinquishing her reign on the court, save for an occasional glitzy meander down the red carpet.
