About Jen Welter
The first female coach in NFL history, Dr. Jen Welter serves as a powerful role model and an inspiring reminder that barriers are meant to be broken. She made history when she coached the Arizona Cardinals’ inside linebackers for their 2015 training camp. She was also the first woman to play running back in a men’s professional football season with the IFL’s Texas Revolution. She released Play Big, in which she reveals the grit and determination that it took to be a trailblazer in one of the country’s toughest boys’ clubs. With germane anecdotes drawn from her experiences on and off the field, she inspires and enlightens with insight on breaking barriers, authentic leadership, achieving the impossible and the true value of diverse teams.
