274. Against the Odds: Diana Flores On Playing a Man’s Game & Flag Football As An Olympic Sport

Diana Flores wants the world to know that football isn't just a man's game. The captain and quarterback of the Mexican flag football national team and world champion is making waves — showing young women everywhere that there's room for them on the field and beyond.

An ambassador for the NFL, Flores made headlines last year during Super Bowl LVII in the commercial Run With it, promoting flag football as an Olympic sport in 2028. And now? It's officially in the Los Angeles Games. In today's episode, she talks about why she chose to invest herself in this particular sport from a young age, how it feels to be working with some of her childhood idols, and how she feels about breaking records while inspiring a generation of young girls.
