Viewers who paid close attention to Nike’s all-women “Dream Crazier” ad, which debuted during Sunday’s Academy Awards and features Serena Williams, might have noticed a young-looking soccer player toward the end, gazing calmly and confidently at the camera. As it turns out, that soccer player is indeed young, but at age 13 she has already turned professional.
Oh, and Olivia Moultrie is now officially on the Nike roster, but she won’t be wearing the swoosh while playing for the University of North Carolina. In turning pro, she is giving up the soccer scholarship from the Tar Heels she accepted at the tender age of 11, but her father is confident that it’s the right call.
