Being the first openly trans athlete in PH football is uncharted territory — equal parts heartbreak and hope, challenge and courage. While her journey has been far from easy, Ellie Haenel inspires with her passion and perseverance. In this episode, guest correspondent Lui Morales shares how football saved Ellie’s life, and how she continues to break barriers on and off the pitch.
