EP 51 // JENNIFER WELTER ON COACHING & PLAYING FOOTBALL AGAINST MEN & THE HARDEST HITS SHE TOOK

Jennifer Welter is a trailblazer in football — the first woman to play running back for a men’s professional team, the first woman to coach a men’s pro team, and the first woman to coach in the NFL. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Jen joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about her experience coaching the Arizona Cardinals under Bruce Arians in 2015 and why earning the trust of and leading men wasn’t the challenging part, the teammates and coaches who did and didn’t support her breaking into the men’s game, how she’s coached up men and opened eyes, what it was like playing running back at 5’2” against mountainous men who wanted to take her head off in the Indoor Football League, the hardest hits she experienced and how she responded, what she sees as the future for women in the NFL and football generally, and much more.
