Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and his wife BreAnne didn't get off to the best start. They met when BreAnne was a student trainer at Central Michigan University and Matt was a graduate assistant for the football team. One day, while Matt was locked in on practice, BreAnne wandered her way into the middle of a drill. The young coach yelled at her so she would move out of the way. "Ironically enough, we met on a football field," Matt told The Athletic in 2019. "She was a student trainer, and I'll never forget. I noticed her, and she said I yelled at her the first time I talked to her, because she was in the way of a drill." The inauspicious start turned into a marriage that has brought them two kids and taken the pair across the country as Matt has gone from mid-major assistant to head coach of one of the most storied franchises in the NFL.
