Marena Schiess is a huge Chicago Bears fan, and is passionate about football. She hopes to one day work in the NFL as a coach or general manager
SAN DIEGO, CA — There are only a handful of females on NFL coaching staff's, and that number accounts for a little over one percent of NFL coaches.
"He never made me feel dumb for liking football because I was a girl," Schiess said."He always encouraged my passion for football, as did the rest of my family." "It's a lot of fun because I'm coaching my brother and some of his friends. The people here were not expecting me to be the head coach, and they were even more shocked when they found out I was in high school," Schiess said."Being the head coach is all about owning up to the fact that I'm different. I guess it probably shouldn't have worked that a 16-year-old girl is teaching a bunch of 15, 14, and 13 year old's, but it did.
"It's like solving a puzzle. All the routes of one yard can make a difference," she said."It's all about manipulation of where the players are and how we use their athletic ability to the fullest."
