In a sport long dominated by men, Marissa Lopez isn’t just stepping onto the field — she’s reshaping it. A trailblazer in both flag and tackle football, Marissa has turned determination and vision into a movement that’s opening doors for the next generation of female athletes.
Her rise hasn’t been easy. Between training, competing, coaching, and raising a family, Marissa’s schedule pushes her to the limit. What keeps her going? Recovery.
For Marissa, greatness isn’t only built during practices or games — it’s sustained in the quiet hours after, when the body needs to heal and recharge. That’s why she’s partnered with TRONUS, the first luxury recovery footwear brand.
“Recovery is how I stay in the game longer,” Marissa says. “TRONUS makes sure I’m ready for every practice, every snap, every moment.”
The TRONUS Reign Slides™ help her reduce fatigue, ease joint strain, and stay fresh — letting her pour the same energy into mentoring young athletes as she does into chasing her own dreams.
With flag football set to debut in the 2028 Olympics, Marissa’s personal goal is clear: be part of history. But her vision goes far beyond her own ambitions.
Through her Football Sisters movement, co-founded with her sister Miriah, Marissa is creating a space where girls can see themselves as leaders, competitors, and changemakers in football.
California’s recent sanctioning of girls’ flag football is just the beginning. Marissa is coaching, mentoring, and building pathways so young athletes don’t just watch history — they make it.
Marissa’s journey is about more than sport — it’s about balance, grit, and grace. She’s a mother, a coach, a founder, and an athlete, constantly shifting roles but never losing sight of her purpose.
Recovery allows her to sustain that pace, to show up fully in every area of her life without burning out — a true example of how female flag football athletes can thrive at the highest levels while balancing multiple roles.
To every girl wondering if she belongs on the field, Marissa has a simple message:
“Work hard. Stay passionate. Dive in. The field belongs to you, too.”
Marissa Lopez isn’t just chasing victories — she’s building a future where recovery is recognized as the foundation of performance, and where every girl knows she has a place in the game.
