NFL Hires First Female Coach
國(guó)家橄欖球聯(lián)盟聘請(qǐng)首位女教練
The Arizona Cardinals have hired a female assistant coach for the next National Football League (NFL) season. Jen Welter will work as an intern with inside linebackers for the 2015 pre-season. This is not the first time Jen Welter has broken the gender barrier in American football. In 2014, Welter became the first female to play a non-kicking position in a men’s professional football league. She has also coached for a men’s pro-football indoor team. Welter says she wants to show girls and women that anything is possible. The NFL also hired its first full-time female official for the 2015-16 season.
