Kevin Maxen, an associate strength coach with the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, is coming out publicly in hopes of living his life openly without fear, and to inspire others to do so as well. Maxen is believed to be the first-ever publicly out male coach in major American men’s pro sports. He told Outsports that his journey has been a long one, but in the last year, his personal network has risen up around him to show support for his coming out. Maxen’s partner is his boyfriend, Nick. The two have been dating for over two years. Before joining the Jaguars, Maxen was a strength coach with the football teams at Baylor and Vanderbilt. He has also had internships as a strength coach at the University of Iowa and Army. With the Jaguars, he works with the offensive and defensive linemen on designing their full workout plan. That entails planning exercises, weights, and recovery to achieve their goals. He also travels to games with the team. Before Maxen, a couple of female assistant coaches in the NFL have been publicly out, most notably former San Francisco 49ers assistant coach Katie Sowers. Curt Miller is an out male coach in the WNBA. Yet Maxen is, according to Outsports, the first publicly out male coach in a major American men’s pro sports league.
