build champions

Teams & Athletic Department Leaders.

How does your athletic department stand out? Is the athletic brand story making its way to the student-athletes and coaches? Many schools bring in speakers to “motivate.” We have a program that also truly educates. 

ElevateU is a masterfully choreographed interactive experience hosted by Kraig Kann that emphasizes the importance of creating brand ambassadors who celebrate leadership and learn winning ways with the media. We’ll show your most valuable athletic representatives the way to building “A Brand New You.” It’s all put forward in a way attendees of your choosing will immediately put into play both on and off campus.

“We heard so many compliments! It was wonderful having someone with that expertise come and speak with all of our coaches who can now take all the many lessons learned back to their own student-athletes. Thank you, thank you, we hope you also enjoyed the experience!”

Our program carries strong relevancy for today’s college students and student-athletes seeking to differentiate themselves during their time on campus and become better prepared to enter the workforce. Athletic administrators have also benefitted. 

We’ve been face forward with schools of all sizes, including the likes of Campbell University, University of Florida, University of Missouri, Arizona University, Mississippi State University, Oklahoma State University, Stetson University and the University of Houston.

And our team has conducted smaller workshops for top leaders and communicators within the highest ranks of college athletics.

One day and two-day options.

“To say we were pleased with the presentation would be an understatement. Absolutely fantastic! I had multiple people approach me noting that this was exactly the type of presentation we needed.”

KRAIG KANN

From one campus to the next, Kraig has taken the ElevateU program to teams, large groups and athletic department leaders. It’s not a lecture. It’s an eye-opening edge-of-the-seat ride that’s both unpredictable and indescribable. Athletes and coaches learn the value of their time on campus, the importance of building a long-term brand and being able to communicate, present and represent the university’s core values. But he’s not alone. Now, he’s bringing others along to coach them up on a life skills program that gives attendees a long-lasting victory.

SETH DAVIS

Not many understand the college athletics landscape like KAG’s Seth Davis. His knowledge of the games, the players and the coaches is unparalled. Putting him in front of your student-athletes and coaches is a victory. Learn how kindness meets the road to victory. Understand how being a champion with the media carries well beyond the field of play. And hear why this esteemed author values writing a winning story of long-term life skills and not just short-term game stats.

More than ever, college sports has become a financial balancing act for student-athletes and coaches alike. NIL is now synonymous with the NCAA and Todd Romer has dedicated his career to keeping money simple. ElevateU includes the winning concepts of Todd’s Young Money University platform and you can go to the bank with the impact of his interactive message about putting money in play while on campus and putting money away for when they’re gone.

“Very relatable, for our student-athletes It’s real-life advice, and a message that is easy to understand – and many followed-up with him after.” 

“After sitting in the room with other coaches, I would most definitely encourage any school to take advantage of an opportunity with Kraig and his program.”
