Lexi Rodriguez Joins Stephen Curry, A’ja Wilson, and Others for Special ESPN Role

“To come to five and battle alongside my teammates was so much fun. It was a wonderful day,” Lexi Rodriguez said after making her triumphant Volleyball Nations League debut. After all, representing the Stars and Stripes on a global stage was an honor she wouldn’t pass up. Yet, this opportunity became a reality because Coach Erik Sullivan chose to give young athletes the space to shine.

The 22-year-old record-setting former Nebraska libero proved that she belonged with the best thanks to Coach Sullivan’s trust. So, it’s not surprising to see Rodriguez trying to do the same for others. And so she’s joined ESPN’s Take Back Sports initiative. “A new youth sports initiative dedicated to increasing access to play for young athletes,” as per ESPN, alongside a star-studded lineup.

“Lexi Rodriguez and Jordan Larson have been named ambassadors for ESPN’s youth sports initiative ‘Take Back Sports,’ which is designed to get and keep kids playing sports. Other ambassadors include Stephen Curry, A’ja Wilson, Lamar Jackson, Sydney Leroux, and Luka Doncic,” Aivd Volleyball posted on X after ESPN’s press release.
