Summary

Sarah Fuller is an SEC champion who made history when she became the first woman to play in a Power Five (Division I) conference football game. After all of the kickers on the Vanderbuilt football team came down with COVID-19, Sarah was called from the women's soccer team to help out in the upcoming games. During her time with the football team, she also kicked an extra point to become the first woman to score in a Power Five football game. Sarah details what this history making experience was like all the way from the moment she got the call, to the resulting comments and fame from hundreds of thousands around the country who watched. She also discusses her various struggles with mental health, how she performs under pressure, and what she learned about herself and her personal body-image through this experience.
