Eagles performance coach Autumn Lockwood becomes first Black woman coach to win a Super Bowl
The Philadelphia Eagles' win in Super Bowl LIX will go down in NFL history for multiple reasons — it prevented the first-ever NFL three-peat, provided the first Lombardi Trophy for quarterback Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni, and the first MVP for Hurts. But it was also a notable contest for a historic first on the sidelines.
Autumn Lockwood, the Eagles' associate sports performance coach, already made history in Super Bowl LVII, when she became the first Black woman to coach in a Super Bowl. On Sunday, she made history once again as the first Black woman to be a Super Bowl champion.
Lockwood joined the Eagles in 2022 as a strength and conditioning associate and was named associate performance coach the following year. As a performance coach, she works to help athletes find their strengths and weaknesses.
"I am constantly finding ways for athletes to get stronger, faster and be able to move efficiently," she says on her LinkedIn profile.
This weekend, she shared a picture on Instagram showing her holding a cigar and the Lombardi trophy.
