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
Whether you’re an athlete or a coach, how you show up—on campus, online, and in the media—defines your influence, your opportunities, and your future. 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. As Kraig says, “In this era of high visibility, your brand is your reputation.” Student-athletes and coaches who shape their brand with clarity and purpose stand out—and stay ahead. And as they’ll learn in a front row seat in your biggest team room or in the seats of your arena, It’s Not Just About Performance—It’s About Perception. Don’t miss an interactive keynote address that poromises to keep their attention and sets up the most amazing day on campus in years.
