Flag’s on Fire

In Episode 10 of Flags on Fire, I sit down with Jason Klam, co-founder of Texas Fury — widely regarded as the first premier girls-only flag football club in the country.

Texas Fury has helped shape the modern landscape of girls flag football, producing elite athletes, multiple Team USA players, and helping grow the sport long before most people saw its potential.

But what makes the organization stand out isn’t just the wins.

Jason shares how Texas Fury was built around character, leadership, accountability, and doing things the right way in a club sports world that often loses sight of those values. We also dive into the role his wife played as the backbone of the organization, the journey of his daughter Ashley Klam becoming one of the faces of Team USA women’s flag football, and what it takes to build a culture that consistently develops high-level athletes and people.

This episode is a deep look into the foundation of one of the most respected organizations in the sport and the bigger movement pushing women’s flag football toward the Olympics and beyond.

We dive into the rapid growth of the sport, the opportunities now opening for female athletes, the Olympic momentum surrounding flag football, and what it takes to build a successful program from the ground up. Abby also gives insight into player development, leadership, recruiting, and where she believes the sport is headed next.

This conversation is a great look into the evolution of women’s flag football from someone who has experienced it from nearly every angle.

On Episode 8 of Flags on Fire, I sit down with Team USA quarterback Nico Caseres to talk about the evolution of flag football and why the sport is far more demanding than many traditional football players realize.

Nico shares his journey from growing up in Miami and competing in elite flag football circuits at a young age, to playing college football, and eventually earning the opportunity to represent Team USA on the international stage. We also dive into the future of flag football as an Olympic sport, the growing respect for the game worldwide, and what separates elite flag athletes from the average player stepping onto the field for the first time.

He also breaks down Team USA’s experience competing against NFL legends, the mindset and preparation that led to victory, and why flag football’s strategy, timing, and precision are changing how people view the sport forever.

This episode is packed with insight on quarterback play, the Olympic movement, high-level competition, and the future of flag football in America and beyond.
