No matter the outcome, Super Bowl LVII is making history in more ways than one. When the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs clash for the title on Feb. 12, Eagles assistant performance coach Autumn Lockwood will stand on the sidelines as the first Black woman to coach in the event's history.
Lockwood joined the Eagles in August of 2022 after earning a master’s degree in sports management from East Tennessee State University, where she worked primarily with the men’s and women’s basketball teams. Before that, she was a soccer player at Arizona State, where she honed her skills directing the strength and conditioning program along with warm ups for the University’s cheerleading team.
A good warm up is crucial to prime performance, something that Lockwood was captured facilitating before the NFC Championship game. In a reporter's video, she can be seen emphasizing proper form for cornerback Avonte Maddox who had just returned from an ankle injury beforeShe eventually took her talents to University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she worked as the football team’s strength and conditioning assistant during the 2017-2018 season.
This is cool. Autumn is a former UNLV strength & conditioning assistant and the daughter of a former Rebel cornerbacks coach.
