Changing the Playbook

How Women Have Transformed Professional Football

Since the inception of the NFL in 1920, professional football has long been dominated by men. But there is a rich history of women who have made profound impacts on the sport for decades whose stories have never been collectively told--until now.

In Changing the Playbook: How Women Have Transformed Professional Football, the amazing stories of these football pioneers are finally revealed. Featuring women such as NFL owner Virginia Halas-McCaskey, scout Connie Carberg, CEO Amy Trask, journalist Lesley Visser, NFL coaches Jen Welter, Jen King, and Callie Brownson, and many more, their lives and careers reveal unique backstories, historic achievements, and incredible impact. These trailblazers faced many obstacles, misogyny, and hostility, but their persistence has led to a new generation of women joining the NFL ranks, forging a legacy that will not be forgotten.

“A tremendous compilation of stories spanning over a hundred years, stories that convey a common message: you can do whatever you set your mind to. Thank you, Cash, for sharing this not only with your daughters, but with all who read Changing the Playbook. ”

Amy Trask, first female CEO in the NFL
