Nothing tastes better than victory and nothing smells better than a bus packed with young footballers and their tired feet after a match! Just imagine this scent - a mix of sweat, youth and male excitement...
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.
“I don’t want to feel like I have to think about it anymore,” Maxen told Outsports in an exclusive interview. “I don’t want to feel like I have to lie about who I am seeing, or why I am living with someone else.
“I want to be vocal in support of people living how they want to live, but I also want to just live and not feel fear about how people will react.”
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.
“It wasn’t until recently – and with the immense love and support of my family, my friends, colleagues and peers, and the courage and sacrifice from my partner – that I realized I have the right and responsibility to love and be loved, and that maybe sharing this will hopefully give someone else the strength to accept their own life and take control of their own story.”
Maxen’s partner is his boyfriend, Nick. The two have been dating for over two years.
