When Katie Sowers was growing up, she loved football and played as much as she could. She played in a women’s tackle league when she got out of college and dreamed of coaching in the NFL. But she didn’t know if that dream could become a reality until she saw a woman get a full-time assistant coaching job in the NBA in 2014.
“I always preach that you never know who is watching, so I put everything into that team,” Sowers says of her fifth grade hoop players. Sowers, 32, grew up loving football, but didn’t see playing on the boys’ high school team as an option, so she played sports that could help her get an athletic scholarship to college. Which she did, for basketball. After college, she played professional tackle football as a quarterback for the Women’s Football Alliance, and she played for Team USA in 2013.
“We find it so odd when women lead men, but women have been teaching men for years. We have to normalize it.” Katie Sowers After working with the Falcons, she went to the San Francisco 49ers, where she now works with wide receivers as a full-time assistant coach. Sowers says that when she first applied for the NFL’s Diversity Coaching Fellowship, there was nowhere to say on the form that she was a woman. “I felt worthless, even though I’d been the MVP for team USA and had been an All-American athlete. And she says once when she was a coach for the Falcons, someone asked her if she was the coach of the team’s cheerleading team. “They couldn’t wrap their head around it, but we’re getting there.
good for her but one person (out of how many?) is abnormal.
This is the typical AYSO mentality we need to get rid of. Football is a mans sport. Change My Mind!
