: This past weekend, we witnessed history as Autumn Lockwood became the first Black woman to coach in a Super Bowl game! As an assistant coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, Autumn is breaking glass ceilings and bringing attention to the low number of women coaches in football. Through the generosity of Scott Pioli and his family, WSF is working to get more women working in football with the Scott Pioli & Family Fund for Women Football Coaches and Scouts. The grant is open year-round and supports the development, education, and training of aspiring women football coaches and scouts who are pursuing careers in collegiate or professional football.

Your Turn:
1. Learn more about the Scott Pioli & Family Fund, grant eligibility, criteria and requirements on our website: https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/wsf_programs/piolifund/
2. Read about the importance of increasing the pipeline of women in coaching positions in our ‘Beyond X’s and O’s: Gender Bias and Coaches of Women’s College Sports’ research report.
3. Help us spread the word and grow the representation of women in coaching at all levels by tagging someone you know who might be interested or sharing our post on your story!
