Keynote Speaker: First Female Coach in NFL History, Pro Football Player & Gold Medalist

Jen Welter Biography

Dr. Jen Welter is a groundbreaking, barrier-busting force of nature. She is a female trailblazer, a sports pioneer, PhD, passionate leader, world-renowned speaker, entrepreneur and source of inspiration around the globe. Her relentless pursuit of individual excellence and success in challenging the status quo time and time again, fuels her current drive to help others achieve their best—in sports, health and wellness, professional pursuits and in life.

She is driven by the belief that “Greatness is a choice you make over and over. And when you choose personal greatness—big or small—it becomes a part of who you are.” In every realm she tackles, Dr. Welter is a game changer, bringing vision, power and purpose to her mission of breaking the chains of what has always been and redefining what is and will be.

She tackled her football career with fearless tenacity and a track record of pioneering firsts. Building on her remarkable career in women’s football, that included 2 Gold medals with Team USA, 4 World Championships and 8 All-Star selections, Dr. Welter busted into the men’s game, as the first female running back signed to a men’s professional team. Blending her passion for the game with a powerful, unique communication style, she broke through the biggest boys club of all, the NFL, as the first female coach in the league and the Madden NFL 20 video game. Crystallizing her journey into a playbook for overall success, she published “Play Big, Lessons in Living Limitless from the First Woman to Coach in the NFL.”

Not content to stop there, Dr. Welter’s belief in the power of sport to transform society inspired her to create sustainable platforms and inclusive programs to help women become leaders, give girls access and empower kids to overcome challenges through physical, emotional and social well-being. She founded Grrridiron Girls, the first national movement for girls in flag football. She has been honored and quoted by President Obama as a female pioneer and role model. She has coached everyone from kids in sports camps to C-level executives, on how finding your voice and having fearless conversations can fuel positive change.

When the Coronavirus pandemic hit, she teamed with Creative Director and Founder of Jayne Agency, Brooke Foley to create the Critter Fitter book series, the world’s first social, emotional and physical wellness series for young kids. Covering themes ranging from social distancing and mask wearing to resilience and wellness through movement, Critter Fitter offers a holistic platform for parents and children to solve a range of complex problems, giving youth a voice through conversations, tools and experiences.

Dr. Welter’s message of overcoming life’s obstacles with grit, tenacity and limitless possibility has received worldwide acclaim, by audiences ranging from global companies and top schools to brands, nonprofits and professional sports teams.

Jen Welter Reviews

  • Jen is such an interesting and likable person. She attended our Welcome Reception the day before the event as a way to familiarize herself with the space and meet the key stakeholders in advance of the event - a gesture that was greatly appreciated. She is such a dynamic force with an equally compelling story to tell.
    Indeed, Inc. - Dec 05 2022

  • Network of Executive Women - Oct 20 2021

  • The group really enjoyed Jen! There was a lot of laughter and people swarmed her after to take pictures, get autographs and talk about their own stories. Jen could not have been more gracious and flexible. She was so warm to all our guests and formed an instant rapport and sisterhood.
