We are so proud of you, Sky!!! Keep reaching for the stars!💕💕

Meet Skylar Dixon—a nine-year-old athlete who knows she belongs on the football field.

Skylar began playing tackle football at six years old. Today, she competes as a running back, linebacker, and wide receiver while also participating in gymnastics.

Although she is often the only girl on the field, Skylar does not define herself that way.

“It feels normal. I just feel like I’m part of the team, like a regular player—with some talent.”

Skylar has faced doubts, unkind comments, and opponents who try to intimidate her. Yet she continues to play with confidence, determination, and joy. Her inspiring journey has also received encouragement from the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Winds, and Riddell.

When asked what she would tell another girl who wants to play football, Skylar’s message was simple and powerful:

“Don’t be scared. Just don’t be scared.”

We are honored to share Skylar’s Athlete Spotlight and celebrate a young girl who is showing others what is possible when they confidently pursue what they love.
