Sami Grisafe wears two very different hats in her professional life.

The first is as a professional musician. Grisafe, 27, recently received the Chicago Music Award for Best Rock Entertainer and will play a couple of shows in Austin, Texas, during SXSW 2013.

The second hat is actually a helmet. Grisafe, a quarterback for the Chicago Force of the Women’s Football Alliance, is one of 45 women who was selected to play for the 2013 U.S. Women’s National Team in football.
