'It's like a superhero putting on their cape' - USWNT star Jaedyn Shaw speaks out on record-breaking start to national career

SheBelieves Cup

Japan

Shaw has starred for the USWNT since her call-up to the side, scoring in each of her five starts and bagging a crucial goal in the SheBelieves Cup semi-final. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/jaedyn-shaw-uswnt-olympics-teenage-superstar/bltcdd38ce30ea1c8f3" target="_blank">Her performances seem to have earned her a spot on the USWNT's Olympic roster in June</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In a conversation with <a href="https://x.com/AttackingThird/status/1778446370208161909" target="_blank">Morning Footy</a>, Shaw spoke highly of suiting up for the four-time World Cup champions: "I knew that I really wanted to be on this team, and that I was going to do whatever I could off the field, on the field to get to this point. Once I just put the jersey on, it's almost like a superhero putting on their cape. It's a different feeling."

WHAT JAEDYN SHAW SAID

Despite being just 19, Shaw has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/uswnt-2024-olympics-roster-power-rankings-paris/blt77f7c96eed39d321" target="_blank">forced her way into the conversation for a starring role</a> when new head coach Emma Hayes takes the helm prior to the Olympics. She started both of the US's SheBelieves Cup contests earlier this week, fitting into a midfield alongside the likes of Lindsey Horan, Emily Sonnett and Sam Coffey.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Shaw burst onto the scene in October 2023, and her stock has only risen since then. She was named the tournament MVP <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/alex-morgan-golden-ball-winner-jaedyn-shaw-winners-and-losers-of-uswnt-gold-cup-triumph/bltfcaeeb6f32b421bf" target="_blank">at the CONCACAF W Gold Cup</a>, scoring four goals as the US claimed the title of the inaugural tournament.

DID YOU KNOW?

The midfielder's focus now turns back to NSWL duty, where she figures to feature for San Diego Wave as they take on Racing Louisville on Saturday.
