Beyond Winning: Why We Really Play the Game

from On the Air with the IWFFA Hosted by IWFFA

Welcome to the February IWFFA Podcast! This month Raina covers the 1st Annual IWFFA America’s Cup in Nicaragua (April 11–12), with teams from the USA, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua — and Cuba joining for the first time. We also talk about the continued expansion of women’s flag football and the road to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. I read from this months article by Kim Hamlin, “Why do you play the game?” and reflect on identity, competition, and growth. I also share parts of my own journey navigating learning challenges, hearing issues, and speech struggles — and why pushing through personal obstacles is part of becoming who you’re meant to be. Lastly we have a very special guest this month: Toki from Blue Wave, who shares her 20 years of experience in Flag Football.
