Every now and then, an athlete comes along who changes the game — and Gracie Hernandez is doing exactly that. From Stockton, California to the national spotlight, this Bear Creek High School star is rewriting what's possible for girls in flag football.In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, hosts Head Coach KT and B Jones sit down with one of the fastest-rising names in the sport to talk about faith, perseverance, and the power of believing in yourself when no one else does.Gracie's journey began with a setback — she didn't make her high school volleyball team. But that disappointment sparked something greater. On a whim, she tried out for flag football. “I had three days to prove myself,” she recalls — and that's all it took.Her grit, focus, and raw athleticism transformed her from a rookie into a leader. Today, she's a dual-threat wide receiver and outside linebacker with nine scholarship offers and counting — and she's still only getting started.“As soon as I stepped on that turf, I fell in love with the game.”What makes Gracie special isn't just her stats — it's her spirit. She plays with joy, humility, and deep faith. Off the field, she's known for her bright energy, love for her Polynesian roots, and commitment to giving her all to God.Her goal? To become a traveling ER nurse while playing collegiate flag football — and one day, represent Team USA at the 2028 Olympics.“I don't just want to stack offers — I want to find a home.”Whether she's leading Bear Creek High or repping Turf Club Elite 707, Gracie's leadership shines through. She credits her success to her family, teammates, and coaches who saw her potential before she did.Her message to young athletes: “Don't give up after one no — because your yes might change your life.”When she's not catching touchdowns or making defensive stops, Gracie is just as dynamic off the field. She loves gardening, Polynesian dance, spending time with family, and using her platform to inspire others through faith and positivity.“Flag football gave me confidence — but faith gave me peace.”As she prepares for her next chapter — college, competition, and chasing gold with Team USA — Gracie remains grounded and grateful. She's proof that when passion meets purpose, extraordinary things happen.
