The show follows Powell as a former star quarterback trying to make a comeback as a walk-on. The themes of persistence and second chances hit close to home for the Divas, as they are women of all ages and careers, working hard to shine in a male-dominated sport.
Wide receiver Lois Cook, who is also Vice President of the Divas, has played for more than two decades and said effort matters more than raw talent.
"Skills can be taught, but you can't teach heart," she said. "I get to be the bigger, stronger, better, faster version of myself every step of the way."
Head Coach "Coach Ghost," who started with the team in 2001, praised her players commitment and drive.
"These women are absolutely spectacular human beings," she said. "They give everything to their families, to their children, to me, and to the future of football."
"We cannot be denied. Now is the time to watch women's sports. And if you're able to, come out and play; promise that you'll fall in love!"
"This is not just men's football, not just women's football, this is football," added quarterback Amanda Congialdi.
