So 16 yo pro soccer player is now being celebrated as the "youngest" ever. It used to be that teenagers who wanted to turn professional, such as in basketball, were restricted by age and asked to stay in school. The American paradox never fails.

Olivia Moultrie preceded Chloe. 2019, she became the youngest American women's soccer player to turn professional, at age 13. In 2021 she became the youngest player to play an NWSL regular-season game, at age 15.
