Career
College and Amateur
Rodríguez spent his early childhood up in his native Argentina, before coming to the United States when he was 11 years old, settling in Lenexa, Kansas and played in this time for the KC Pace soccer club.[2] He attended Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, and after attending Johnson County Community College for two years, moved to MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas. He played two more years of college soccer at Mid America Nazarene, where in his senior year Rodríguez led his team to the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) Championship while being named the HAAC's Most Valuable Player, and garnering HAAC First Team and Third-Team All-America honors.
During his college years Rodríguez also played with Kansas City Brass in the USL Premier Development League.[3]
