ATLANTA, Feb. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Attorney-Entrepreneur-Agent Kevin Christopher will be speaking at the 2023 Nike Coach of the Year Clinics in Atlanta and Birmingham.

Kevin Christopher is a leading voice in intellectual property and influencer strategies. He has helped world champion athletes maximize personal brands, business opportunities, and philanthropic missions, and has represented student-athletes challenging athletic organization and state laws. He uniquely understands the challenges that coaches face in the NIL era and is passionate about empowering coaches to get the most out of their athletes, and to manage NIL in ways that benefit their teams, institutions, and players.
Nike's Coach of the Year Clinics are annual, regional events bringing together the best and brightest minds in the sports world. This year's headliners at Atlanta and Birmingham sessions include coaches Josh Heupel from Tennessee, John Day from Ohio State, Mel Tucker form Michigan State, Dabo Swinney from Clemson, and many others. The events draw thousands of in-person and online coaches and elite players to learn best practices in coaching, organizational management, and training.
At the clinics, Christopher will speak about the importance of developing effective yet flexible coaching strategies in response to the changing NIL landscape. His message will offer coaches the opportunity to gain greater insight into how to better support their athletes and teams:
"I advise coaches and teams to check your brightside--meaning NIL isn't going anywhere, but it can have many positive impacts on your team and program if you understand its opportunities and know how to manage them."
The 2023 Nike Coach of the Year Clinic in Atlanta takes place February 9th - 11th, and the Birmingham event is scheduled for February 16th - 18th. For more information, please visit Nike's official website.
