In a world where barriers are meant to be broken, Marissa Lopez isn’t just playing the game — she’s redefining it.

As a TRONUS sponsored athlete and a standout in both flag and tackle
football, Marissa embodies what it means to lead, to innovate, and to
inspire. Her rise is no accident. It’s the result of relentless work, fearless ambition, and a clear vision: to make space for women in a sport where they’ve too often been overlooked — and to do it without losing an ounce of authenticity, heart, or fire.

Powered by Recovery, Fueled by TRONUS

For Marissa, greatness isn’t just built on game days — it’s forged in the unseen hours of recovery.

Partnering with TRONUS, the brand revolutionizing athlete recovery
footwear, Marissa found a game-changing edge. The TRONUS Active Recovery Slides didn’t just support her — they amplified her. Faster healing, stronger performances, and a renewed sense of resilience became part of her arsenal.

In Marissa’s own words, recovery isn’t a luxury — it’s the key to staying in the game longer, stronger, and smarter.

A Vision Bigger Than Herself

Marissa sees the future of football not just through personal ambition but through a wide-angle lens of possibility.

She envisions flag football thriving nationwide, with opportunities
blossoming for young girls from middle school to college — and now, with the 2028 Olympics on the horizon, an even bigger dream is within reach. California’s historic move to sanction girls' flag football is just the beginning. For Marissa, coaching, mentorship, and leadership aren’t future roles — they’re present responsibilities. She’s not waiting for change; she’s driving it.

Football Sisters: A Movement, Not Just a Brand

Together with her sister, Miriah, Marissa founded Football Sisters, a platform that’s rewriting the script for what young women can achieve through sports.

It’s a call to action: to play hard, lead fiercely, and embrace the balance of
power and grace. Through Football Sisters, Marissa is building more than teams — she’s building a legacy where young girls know they can be athletes, leaders, and changemakers.

Breaking the Mold — and Winning

Marissa’s story is filled with firsts: coaching an all-boys team to a championship, commanding respect on the field, and blazing a trail in an arena still learning to welcome women at the table.

As a minority woman and entrepreneur, she’s not just playing in the system — she’s changing it. Her journey is proof that representation matters — and that leadership doesn’t wait for permission.

Juggling Dreams with Grit and Grace

Between training, building the Football Sisters brand, and raising her family, Marissa moves with a rare kind of energy: one rooted in passion, powered by purpose, and sustained by a community she proudly calls her “village.” Her life isn’t about balance in the traditional sense — it’s about excellence across every field she steps onto.

A Legacy in Motion

To every girl watching, wondering if she belongs on the field, Marissa Lopez has a simple message:

"Work hard. Stay passionate. Dive in. The field belongs to you, too." Marissa isn’t just playing for today. She’s laying the foundation for a future where young women don’t have to
ask if they belong — they’ll know they do.
