Autumn Lockwood is an associate performance coach with the Philadelphia Eagles whose work is in strength and sports performance. East Tennessee State University, where she earned a master's degree and worked with its basketball programs, records that she became director of sports performance at the University of Houston in 2021 and then joined the Philadelphia Eagles as a strength and conditioning associate in 2022. When the Eagles reached Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023, Lockwood became the first Black woman to coach in a Super Bowl — a milestone reported by ETSU and by Essence, and noted at the time by the NFL. The Eagles' official biography confirms she was promoted to associate performance coach during the 2023 offseason. Essence further records that when Philadelphia won Super Bowl LIX in February 2025, Lockwood became the first Black woman coach to win a Super Bowl. Her father, David Lockwood, was a longtime college football coach, making hers a second-generation coaching career.

Notes

Sports Encyclopedia roster CTL-SPE-0424. Firsts disposition: 'First Black woman to coach in a Super Bowl' (Super Bowl LVII, February 2023) ASSERTED — supported by East Tennessee State University (university official) and Essence, with Sports Illustrated corroborating and the Philadelphia Eagles confirming her role and tenure; the claim was flagged verification-pending on the roster and clears that bar here. A second milestone, first Black woman coach to win a Super Bowl (LIX, 2025), is sourced to Essence and stated as such. Curator's Judgment (DRAFT): Lockwood's first happened in the performance room, not on the play sheet — which is exactly why it matters: the coaching pipeline runs through strength and performance staffs, and she is its proof at the highest level.
