🏈 Flag football quarterback Diana Flores grew up being told “no” over and over again. As a little girl, her dream to become a football player had nowhere to grow, but Flores and her big smile were undeterred — she broke down barriers anyway.
- In collaboration with our friends at Invisalign®, we’re sharing the deeper stories behind your favorite women athletes’ smiles, starting with Invisalign’s three Game Changers: Flores, women’s soccer star Croix Bethune, and NCAA basketball icon Flau’jae Johnson.
Flores’ smile gave her power — let’s tell her Game Changer story.
👋 Name: Diana Flores
💪 Occupation: Quarterback & Captain, Mexican Women’s Flag Football National Team
🎂 Birthday: September 28th, 1997
🏆 Accolades: Gold medal at World Games (2025), Gold medal and MVP at World Games (2022)
👏 Flores started playing football at just eight years old, falling in love with the game and competing on boys teams. When she was 16 years old, she joined Mexico’s Women’s Flag Football National Team, but it took her nine years to reach the position of her dreams: quarterback.
- By 2021, Flores was under center and crushing it. She led Team Mexico to the 2022 World Games gold medal with a 39–6 win over the U.S. — and she was named MVP.
- And this year, Flores ran it back, once again leading her squad to a gold medal win over Team USA at the World Games. She’s unstoppable.
💪 Flores is an Invisalign Game Changer because her football legacy extends far beyond the gridiron. By bringing more attention to women’s flag football, Flores is building a better sport for girls that come after her and standing tall as a role model. When you can see it, you can be it.
- Flores believes a smile can break down any barrier, which is why she started her Invisalign journey, ensuring she has the confidence to change the game wherever her journey takes her.
