But now, with the work well under way, Solo is beginning to step back into the public eye. She has a TV show in development with Eric Wynalda, another outspoken former soccer player.
Last April, it was announced that the film financing and production company Argent Pictures had acquired the rights to her life story and would be turning it into a biopic. She's already made headlines for criticizing Coach Jill Ellis saying that she " cracks under pressure. In the lead-up to the games, a larger drama has also been unfolding, one in which Solo has played a pivotal role.
The 28 women currently on the national team followed suit seven months later. This perspective is easy to understand. She was a solitary figure, like she often was on the soccer field—she has to be one of the most aptly named athletes of all time—as two Dobermans, both female, one in heat, wove around her with taut grace. Solo and Stevens began keeping the breed because Stevens thought they reminded him of her. An image of Brandi Chastain kneeling with her fists raised, her face an expression of such elation that her neck veins pop out, proved iconic.

When Solo began playing with them in , though, she quickly proved out of sync with the existing culture. They were like, Wow, we need to get her media training now.

She was raised largely by her mother and stepfather, and her closest family relationships involved a tight coil of love, loyalty, and dysfunction.
Her mother was an inspiringly independent figure, an environmental scientist with a black belt in karate, but once she began drinking heavily, she and Solo fought often. Soccer, a sport in which Solo showed early promise, was something she fought for, too.
Solo attended the University of Washington in Seattle, where a sometimes disheveled man often showed up at her games: her father, who had become homeless. Over the next few years, as Solo established herself as the starting goalkeeper for the national team, his life stabilized, and their relationship deepened.
