Jen Welter has always been drawn to sports. A natural athlete, she played tennis as a child. But an elite coach discouraged her from continuing with the game because of her small size. He thought she lacked the strength needed to excel in the game. A standout soccer player, she was also interested in American football. But there was no high school football team for girls. Welter didn’t let this stop her from playing, and later coaching, the sport she loved most. Part of the Women Blazing the Trail series, Jen Welter, NFL Coach discusses the inspiring story of an athlete who used her abilities and knowledge to become the first female coach in the National Football League.

Women Blazing the Trail Series
From U.S. Supreme Court justices to NASA astronauts, women have broken down many barriers to achieve success in professions historically dominated by men. Women Blazing the Trail is an inspiring book series that tells the stories of women, such as movie director Greta Gerwig and NFL coach Jen Welter, who have helped forge the path for other women and girls with similar goals. With striking color photographs, a fun Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series discusses six inspiring women. They encountered obstacles along their way. But each one refused to let the barriers she faced stop her from succeeding—and blazing the trail for others.
