Publisher's Summary

An inspiring, gutsy handbook for success from the first woman to ever coach in the NFL

When 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. In Play Big, Welter reveals the grit that it took to be a trailblazer in the ultimate boys' club.

Pre-NFL, Welter was an undersized, underestimated athlete who made sacrifice after sacrifice to achieve her football dreams - rising to the top of women's football leagues and eventually daring to play against men twice her size. Play Big lays out how she succeeded despite the odds, through force of will and determination, revealing the wisdom Welter gained over countless setbacks and challenges.

With vivid wit and candor, Play Big will coach you to do the same - whatever your obstacles might be - while translating Welter's hard-earned advice for cultivating true perseverance and toughness.

What the critics say

"When I met Jen, I saw the passion in her. Not just in her voice or a particular word she said-in her whole person. It was easily recognizable that the insights and experience were there. Her resume spoke for itself. But her enthusiasm about the game, her expertise, and being able to teach what she knew, I thought was very evident in the first meeting. That's why I hired her. Anyone reading this book will be inspired by her drive and learn from her journey. She has a different perspective on how to teach that extends beyond the field." (Bruce Arians, Arizona Cardinals head coach)
"Jen Welter is a master of change, not only for the NFL but for women in society. I'm proud of everything that she has done to change perception and reality for the next generation. Jen is a force and is one of the most qualified people I know on change." (Nancy Lieberman, Sacramento Kings assistant coach, Basketball Hall of Fame Member)

So inspiring!

Being that I am a female football player like Jen I could relate to a lot of her stories and I cried several tears listening to her book. She was able to put into words so many feelings I couldn’t communicate at the time with my team. I am so grateful that Jen shared her story with us and is putting female tackle football on the map! Amazing book!! Definitely one that I will come back to several times!
