In this episode we interview Ms. Angellica Grayson who serves as the Women’s Head Flag Football Coach at the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas.
Coach Grayson is the first head flag football coach for the University of Saint Mary. She is also a WNFC’s (Women National Football Conference) Texas Elite Spartans (TES) linebacker who has received awards in women's tackle football including the first class of Women's Hall of Fame 2018 and a World Gold Medal for Team USA in 2017. She serves as a "Player Coach" for TES where she both plays and coaches her teammates in football. Grayson has added "international coach" to her resume and is one of the NFL’s flag football ambassadors who has traveled to Egypt to share her love for the sport of football.
She is one of nine that was selected to be part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship with the Washington Football Team now the Commanders in the Summer of 2021 with the NFL. After her first inaugural season with NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), the team was recognized as a “Team of Character” which focuses on community service and core values. Her program was presented with a banner now hanging accordingly for all to admire in the university. With the foundation now in place, Coach Grayson’s legacy and vision for the Flag football program will remain in place for many years to come.
Angellica graduated from Grambling State University with a B.S. in Kinesiology, a concentration in sport management and a minor in coaching. While there, she joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and was voted the captain of her volleyball team.
