WIS-Emily Zaler & Jada Gipson | NFL Coaching
Continuing on with the Female Coaches in the #NFL 💫
EMILY ZALER
#EmilyZaler was raised by a single mom and seeing her mother's own strength shaped the way she lives her life as an adult.
Emily started playing soccer at the age of five and from then on, began to work towards her dream of earning a college scholarship. Zaler grew up going to Arizona Cardinals games with her family but never saw women coaching on the sidelines.
Prior to becoming a Strength and Conditioning Assistant Coach for the Denver Broncos, Zaler completed her Master's Degree in Applied Exercise Science and also had a seasonal coaching position with the New York Knicks.
Zaler said "I’m grateful to the Denver Broncos because without their support and belief in me, I would not be able to show other women that this is possible. If they see it, they can be it. There has to be women on the field so that little girls can say, ‘Hey I want to do that when I grow up.'"
JADA Gipson
#JadaGipson was selected to be a part of the Bill Walsh Fellowship with the Cleveland Browns, where she got to work with defensive backs and sit in on team and position meetings.
Texas State graduate assistant Jada Gipson has been around football her whole life and has dreamed of working in the game since she was 12. She hadn’t seen many women in football until she saw Jen Welter in 2015. She also recalled seeing only three other female NFL coaches during her first year of college at Texas State.
Gipson started as the equipment manager for Texas State’s football team where she progressed into working under former Bobcats Inside Linebacker Coach Archie McDaniel before she became a student assistant and made the transition to coaching. Gipson wants to continue to coach college football in the future, but if the NFL calls, she’ll answer.
