Olivia Moultrie is 13 and a soccer player - a professional soccer player. She just signed a representation deal with the Wasserman Media Group, a sports agency, and a multiyear endorsement deal with Nike. In doing so she gave up a scholarship offer to play college soccer at the University of North Carolina. She signed that contract when she was 11 years old.
She must be a fantastic player. She has long played with older girls on the United States youth national team and with boys’ clubs. She has met and trained with some of Europe's biggest clubs: Olympique Lyon and Paris St.-Germain in France, and Bayern Munich in Germany.
However, when she can actually play with the pros is up in the air as both FIFA and the US pro teams require a player to be at least 18.
