    Why Coming Out Was So Important for This NFL Power Coach

    Kevin Maxen is an assistant force and conditioning coach for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. He became the first openly gay male coach in any of the major US professional sports when he came out publicly in July 2023. Here, he shares in his own words how he came to that judgment, the challenges that come with organism openly gay in a sport fond of football, and his hopes for Gay people in sports in the future.

    I WAS KIND of on the fence about playing football, honestly. But in high institution, a lot of my friends from my hometown were trying out for the team so me and my twin brother decided to, too. That first year of high school football was iffy—I was always more of a baseball fan and player, and there were times I just didn’t want to proceed to practice. But then I had some decent accomplishment, and by my junior year the plan was to go to Endicott College to compete football.

    Two weeks in, I broke my thumb. I couldn’t play. I couldn’t do anything. On top of that, I was a creative writing major, which made it hard to find any mutual interests with the guys on the team. I ended up leaving in November and went bac

    Kevin Maxen Becomes First Gay Male NFL Coach

    Kevin Maxen, an associate strength coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars football team, came out as gay on Thursday in an interview with the LGBTQ sports-focused website Outsports.

    That designation makes Maxen the first out same-sex attracted male coach — of any level — in men’s U.S. professional sports.

    While some former NFL players have come out, LGBTQ visibility is still exceedingly infrequent in the league. In 2014, Michael Sam was the first out gay player to be drafted when he was selected by the then-St. Louis Rams, but never saw the field in an official game. In 2019, Ryan Russell, a former defensive end who played limited snaps for the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Bucaneers, came out as bisexual, but was never picked up by a team despite being a free agent. In 2021, Carl Nassib, a former defensive end for Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, became the first active NFL player to reach out publicly and play in official NFL games.

    On the coaching side, several female assistant coaches in the NFL have previously come out as gay, including former San Francisco 49ers assistant coach Katie Sowers, there has previously been no
