Tune in LIVE TOMORROW for #boldspotlight episode 15 with Dr. Jen Welter! Jen Welter is the first female NFL Coach and Founder of A Day in the Life. Highly respected and known for her BOLD energy, Jen was a defensive coaching intern for the National Football League’s Arizona Cardinals during their training camp and the 2015 preseason, making her the first female coaching intern in the NFL. In February 2015, Champion’s Indoor Football’s Texas Revolution named Welter their linebackers and special teams coach making her the first woman to coach in a men's professional football league.
A year prior, Welter was signed by the Revolution as a running back. This made her the second female player for a position other than kicker or placekick-holder on a men's professional football team, and the first at running back. Welter was featured in Mogul’s #IAmAMogul campaign as part of Women's History Month in March 2016 for "changing the perception of what it means to be an NFL coach."
Welter graduated from Boston College and has a master's degree in Sports Psychology and a PhD in psychology from Capella University. In 2015, Jennifer Welter received the Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Pioneer Award in recognition for her achievements in the sports world.

According to A Day in the Life website: Coach Jen refers to football as full-contact chess, so you will learn the chess pieces, how the pieces move, and how they come together to make the great game work. Your player experience kicks off with a dynamic warmup, followed by position-specific drills led by some of your favorite former and current NFL players and athletes, then you and your team put it all together with offense and defense on air. The fieldwork wraps up with a cooldown, then you transition to the post game celebration for cocktails and Q&A. You’ll finish the day ready for Sunday’s big game.
