“Play Big: Lessons in Being Limitless from the First Woman to Coach in the NFL” (2017)
An inspiring, gutsy handbook for success from the first woman to ever coach in the NFLWhen Jen Welter became a linebackers coach for the Arizona Cardinals in 2015, she was the first woman to ever break the glass sideline of the NFL.
