Katie Sowers will make history as the first female to coach in a Super Bowl when the 49ers face the Kansas Chiefs in Miami.
This will be Sowers' third year with the 49ers after spending time with the Atlanta Falcons. Her journey to Santa Clara was anything but conventional. Sowers ultimately ended up on the football field because she was turned down as a volunteer coach for the Goshen College women’s basketball team over a decade ago because of her sexual orientation.
While at the time the decision was devastating, it started her on the path to the 49ers and now the Super Bowl.
