Professional athletes and coaches make some of the best motivators for company employees. Running a great company requires having great employees. Knowing how to motivate employees to do the job, and do it correctly, is a direct responsibility of the managers and owners of that company.
Here is why bringing in professional athletes and coaches to talk to your employees could make a drastic difference in what you see in return from your employees.
Coaches and athletes are ingrained with determination to achieve their goals. Taking those traits from the field to the boardroom makes any goal attainable your company may have as a result. In the workplace, the best employees subsequently never give up and always find a way to overcome obstacles. Failing will be a part of any corporation or business. Dealing with loss is something coaches, and athletes overcome every single season. When they struggle with performance, athletes will dedicate extra time to practice until they improve. Learning this trait can be how to motivate employees to prevent the same mistake from ever happening twice.
Any corporation or business needs employees to have a "team first" mentality. A team-first mentality is about looking at your employees and viewing them as living, breathing organisms. An organism can live in a healthy manner if each of its organs is functioning and contributing to its overall health.
Coaches and athletes certainly understand that team goals always trump individual needs. Being part of a team means a serious commitment to the group. Personal sacrifices come with the territory. For athletes, that may mean giving up weekends for practice or maintaining a strict training diet. Applying that same mentality to the workplace establishes a commitment to achieving goals. Rewarding employees who carry these traits with more pay or time off (when able) will go a long way in answering the question, "how to motivate employees."
Becoming coachable consequently lets you take an objective look at your strengths and weaknesses in all areas of your life. Athletes and coaches have taken constructive criticism (and sometimes not so constructive) throughout their careers. Explaining to your employees that this type of criticism is in an attempt to better themselves, not degrade them, is vital to long-term success. Managers who know they can provide direct and honest feedback to their employees without worrying about hurting feelings, or losing productivity for the day, allow for quick solutions to problems that may arise as a result.

Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Chandon Sullivan is one of the true feel-good stories in the NFL. Once an undrafted free agent, Sullivan signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. After his rookie season, he signed with the Green Bay Packers and spent the next three seasons of his career with the Green and Gold. In a recent interview with Mayfield Sports Marketing, Chandon Sullivan opened up about what those three seasons meant to him.
"My top memories playing for the Packers were making the NFC Championship Game two seasons in a row. We won a lot of games in my three years there, and that was awesome. But I think also just the bonds I made with the guys in that locker room. It really is a special place."
Of course, after the 2021 season, Chandon Sullivan was a free agent. He discussed the decision to go to Minnesota:
"The transition from Green Bay to Minnesota was full of emotions. I had some fun times. I got a chance to prove myself in this league and won a lot of games. But at the end of the day, I felt that the best thing for me was to go and become a Viking."
As all Packers fans are aware, Za’Darius Smith also left the Packers for the Vikings. When we asked Chandon Sullivan about Smith’s influence on his decision, he said:
"Za’Darius called me and told me, ‘I want you to come and be part of something special.’ Some of my former coaches are also on staff here, so that kind of helped my decision and made the transition a little easier."
Mayfield Sports Marketing is proud to work with Chandon Sullivan and many other athletes. We pride ourselves in connecting fans with their favorite players. Sullivan, too, had some kind words to say about our partnership:
"Mayfield Sports Marketing has helped me get my name out there. You know, I came into this league underrated, under the radar, and I appreciate getting the chance to show the fans I appreciate them as much as they appreciate me."

Former Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn is one of the most recognizable names from the Super Bowl XLV team. After playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers for his rookie season in 2006, the Packers signed him. What followed was a nine-year stint that saw the Packers transition from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers, from a team rebuilding to a Super Bowl champion.
While there are players with better accolades, Kuhn was the workhorse doing all the dirty work asked of him. Whether it was blocking defensive ends in the passing game, taking on linebackers in the run game, or bullying his way for a one-yard first down or score, John Kuhn was as reliable a player as the Packers had.
In his nine seasons with the Packers, Kuhn had 601 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns. He also had 557 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Kuhn then spent two seasons with the New Orleans Saints at the end of his career. He since returned to Wisconsin and has become a major player in the sports media market.
Green Bay Packers fans can see Kuhn working as a reporter on the sidelines and in the booth before and during Packers games. Additionally, John Kuhn has his own radio show on 97.3 The Game, an outlet of iHeart Milwaukee. This show, “Nine to Noon with John Kuhn” is cohosted by Wisconsin Badgers legend Brian Butch and airs daily. On this platform, Kuhn interviews both current and former Packers players and covers all major Wisconson sports stories.
Mayfield Sports Marketing has been happy to book John Kuhn for past events and looks forward to securing the former player turned media professional in the future.

The Georgia Bulldogs are ranked as the top college football team in the country. The Georgia Football program is among the best in the nation and has been for quite some time. Several former Georgia Football players are now high-profile NFL players. In the past, Mayfield Sports Marketing has coordinated several events and signings with some of these Georgia athletes.
The Green Bay Packers made Quay Walker the first of their first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft. Walker played for Georgia from 2018-2021. He first saw consistent playing time in 2019 when he played in 11 games. Walker had 23 tackles that season, including 2.5 sacks. In 2020, Walker nearly doubled his tackle numbers, racking up 43 in 10 games. Of course, Georgia Football and it's players won the National Championship in 2021, and Walker was a big part of the defense that led them. That year, Walker had 65 tackles, including 5.5 for a loss. He also deflected three passes.
Since joining the Packers, Quay Walker has started every game that they have played. When All-Pro De’Vondre Campbell went down with an injury, the Packers gave Walker the green dot. He has truly emerged as a great young leader on the defense. So far this season, he is the only rookie defender to amass five tackles or more in each game that he has played.
Current Green Bay cornerback Eric Stokes is another one of the former Georgia Football players on the Packers, playing in Athens from 2018-2020. The speedy defensive back made a splash in his freshman season, scoring a touchdown on the only punt he attempted to return. He played in nine games and recorded 20 tackles. During his sophomore season in 2019, Stokes played 13 games, recorded 38 tackles, and forced a fumble. He also recorded a sack during this campaign. 2020, his Junior season, saw Stokes elevate his game even more. In nine games, Stokes had 20 tackles and four interceptions. He returned two of those four interceptions for touchdowns.
Eric Stokes was one of the latest Georgia Football players to move to Green Bay when the Packers took him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He started 14 games for the Packers as a rookie while playing in 16. Stokes deflected 14 passes and had an interception. The most impressive stat, though, was a 49.5% completion percentage.
Even when he was in college, it was easy to see that Champ Bailey would be a special player. Alongside a talented group of Georgia Football players, Bailey did it all. As a wide receiver, he amassed 59 receptions for 978 yards and five touchdowns. This is quite impressive considering he only played receiver for two years. As a kick returner, he recorded 511 return yards on 23 kickoff returns, also in two seasons. As a defender, though, Bailey really stood out. In 1998, he won the Bronko Narguski Award, given to the nation’s most outstanding defensive player.
In an NFL Career that spanned 15 years, Bailey was a 12-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro. His time spent with the Washington Commanders and Denver Broncos saw him amass 52 career interceptions, including 10 in 2006. Champ Bailey was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019.

Packers Hall of Famer Gilbert Brown has become a known member of the Wisconsin community, constantly making appearances at charity events. This weekend was no different as he and Mayfield Sports Marketing once again traveled to Brookfield, Wisconsin to help Tricia's Troops bring relief and support to families affected by cancer.
Cancer is such an awful disease. Not only does it drain a person’s body of their health, youth, and vigor, but it strains those suffering from it and their families in other ways. Chances are that you, yourself, have had or have had a loved one experience cancer. Undoubtedly, their physical sufferings, along with the emotional, mental, and spiritual tolls of the disease and its treatment, are all-too-familiar.
Such was the case for Tricia Wright. A native of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, Tricia was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer on January 16, 2010. Additionally, her diagnosis included metastasis to her liver and lungs. At the time, Tricia was 35, married, and the mother of two little girls. While her prognosis was not good, Tricia and her family opted to fight the disease with chemotherapy.
As many know, chemotherapy is not an easy treatment. Members of her church, Dr. Martin Luther Church, provided her and her family with cards and meals. Eventually, they became known as Tricia’s Troops. Per the Tricia’s Troops website, "Tricia and her family realized that the support they received from their friends and community was not something that all cancer patients and families received."
For this reason, Tricia and her husband started a non-profit organization called Tricia’s Troops Cancer Connection. Their goal was to provide the love and support they received after her diagnosis to every family affected by cancer.
Tricia Wright died on April 26, 2012, 15 months after her diagnosis. Her legacy of kindness and care for others certainly lives on in the foundation that she started.
Gilbert surprises Kara Mayfield on her first anniversary of beating breast cancer with a gift.
Mayfield Sports Marketing and Packers legend Gilbert Brown were proud to once again partner with Tricia’s Troops. Together, they helped raise money to bring relief and support to families affected by cancer.
On Saturday, Sept. 17, Gilbert and Mark Mayfield joined Tricia's Troops in Brookfield, Wisconsin for a charity event that has raised over $100,000 at an event in previous years.
“We are absolutely honored and humbled to work with Candi, Bill, and the entire Wright family on the Tricia’s Troops events," Mark said. "Packers legend Gilbert Brown, and I have attended the event since 2015. The work that they do is very inspiring, and we are proud to assist in their mission.”
This is a continuation of Mark's non-profit work. In the past, he has worked with players such as, Ahman Green, Hall of Famer Leroy Butler, Hall of Famer Jerry Kramer, Hall of Famer Dave Robinson, Kenny Clark and Olympians Bonnie Blair and Chellsie Memmel.
In addition, if you or someone you love is facing a battle with cancer, please visit the Tricia’s Troops Programs page on their website.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Looks to Replace “The Cheetah” in Kansas City
The NFL offseason brings a plethora of changes for all teams and many players. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a former fifth round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers, has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after four years in Green Bay. The Chiefs were in need of another speedy threat after Tyreek Hill departed for the Miami Dolphins. Now, MVS will look to make the sure high-powered Chiefs offense does not miss “The Cheetah” too much.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling with the Green Bay Packers
Marquez Valdes-Scantling first took the field for the Green Bay Packers in 2018. Though a later round pick, he played in all 16 games. MVS hauled in 38 receptions for 581 yards and two touchdowns. In 2019, he again played all 16 games catching 26 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns.
2020 saw Valdes-Scantling have a career year for the Green Bay Packers. Again playing in all 16 games, MVS had 33 receptions for 690 yards and six touchdowns. He also led the NFL with 20.9 yards per reception. In the Packers loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC title game, MVS was the lone bright spot on offense. He had four receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown.
Last season, Marquez Valdes-Scantling played in 11 out of 17 games. He had 26 receptions for 430 yards and three touchdowns. While this may seem to indicate a drop in production, Chiefs fans can be encouraged by this: MVS had zero drops in 2021. Once considered a weakness in his game, it has become a strength.
Can Marquez Valdes-Scantling Replace Tyreek Hill?
Of course, few wide receivers can boast the same accomplishments of Tyreek Hill during his tenure with the Chiefs. Six Pro Bowls and three First Team All-Pro selections are remarkable achievements. Hill also had over 1,000 yards receiving in four of his six seasons with the Chiefs.
While it may not seem like MVS is up to the task, one must keep in mind that MVS never received the number of targets that Hill did. The most targets MVS ever had in a season was 73, and that was in his rookie season. The fewest Hill ever had in a season was 83, also in his rookie season.
The Kansas City Chiefs have also signed former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuester. He brings a much different skill-set to the Chief’s offense than MVS. Additionally, MVS will be in an offense that is better suited to his style of play. What this all means is that MVS is sure to see more targets with the Chiefs. This will undoubtedly lead to more production and better numbers.
Can MVS replace Tyreek Hill? He has a better chance than most.

If you’re looking for a way to increase sales and improve overall brand awareness, prominent sports figures are attractive options. Their athletic prowess gives them instant credibility to any product, particularly anything related to those geared towards athletes. With that being said, their celebrity alone will influence fans to want to be like them and be associated with the same products or services. Your business would most likely benefit from this association, and this is true whether it’s a big name or not and for pretty much any type of product, service, or business.
While the actual influence celebrity athletes have regarding advertising is a matter of debate, a Harvard University professor and Barclays Capital conducted a study that indicated sales growth compared to their previous numbers and overall placement in the market as well. The study showed an average increase of around 4%, with more considerable gains from those with higher status. Fans of a particular team or specific athlete will be more inclined to purchase a product or use a service endorsed by them.
One key aspect of growing your brand is making people aware of your brand. Attaching a local or national athlete quickly raises awareness for anyone who’s a fan of that individual or the team for which they play. Once people are aware of your brand’s products or services, they would be more likely to purchase from you. A potential customer’s favorable feelings towards the celebrity athlete can and often will translate to your company. Aaron Rodger's State Farm commercials and Brett Favre's Wrangler commercials are just a couple of examples.
Social media promotion by an athlete can increase that awareness even more. According to Opendorse, athletes on social media drive 4.8 times the engagement of media accounts, 3.6 times the engagement of league accounts, 2.4 times the engagement of team accounts, and 2.1 times the engagement of influencer accounts. It just goes to show how associating your brand with an athlete can push awareness and engagement through the roof.
Keep it local, and consider using a celebrity athlete from your home team. A small business that uses a local athlete of any profile brings much-wanted attention and awareness to your brand and business. For example, in Green Bay or anywhere in the state of Wisconsin, having any member of the Green Bay Packers at your event or endorsing your product will generate interest and get more eyes on you. Sticking to someone who is known and admired or associated with a known and admired team, locally and with your target market, pays huge dividends.
Once you’ve decided to utilize a celebrity athlete to help market your product or service, you need to know how to utilize a celebrity athlete. There are various ways to do so, and whichever way you choose will depend on what’s the best fit for your business and your products or services. The first way would be to have them endorse your brand. An endorsement could be digital, radio, print, television, etc., advertising depending on where you’re most likely to find your target market.
If you have an event coming up, having a celebrity appearance will bring more attention and most likely increase attendance. You can add an autograph signing session as part of your event or even have the signing be the event that you’re hosting. Either way, associating the celebrity athlete with your brand is the key. You can also sponsor a celebrity athlete to do a motivational speech for a local school or organization. Approaching your relationship this way gives the double whammy of giving back to the community as well as associating you with the athlete.

For your business to achieve greatness, your employees need to be motivated. While the business year may start off promising, you may start to notice a lack of productivity and focus. Employees become focused on simply achieving their everyday tasks while lacking sight of the big picture. A visit from a professional athlete as your motivational speaker may be just what your business needs.
Motivational speakers have been rising in popularity for decades. Bringing someone in to talk to your employees, virtually or in person, can be just the inspiration and motivation needed. Providing hope that they can tap into their own talents and make a positive change in their lives. If you’re unsure whether this is the right choice for your employees, here are some of the top reasons why your business needs a motivational speaker now more than ever.
The most important thing a motivational speaker does is light a spark in your employees. Doing so requires someone who can encourage them to embrace where they’re at in life and strive to do better. A good motivational speaker is made from years of hard work, determination, and overcoming their own obstacles. Being open about their professional failures and accomplishments allows speakers to connect with your audience on a personal level while keeping their attention throughout the duration of their speech. This will encourage and grow enthusiasm in the workplace and inspire employees to do their best work.
Motivational speakers boost the drive and motivate your employees to do more, be more, and give more. An increase in workplace happiness will encourage a more focused, energetic atmosphere. Improvements among your staff will likely last for days, weeks, and even months after attending a motivational speaker, virtually or in person. You should notice a change in your staff, from mediocrity to becoming an engaged team who will work together to boost the profitability of the business.
At Mayfield Sports Marketing, we have a great network of professional athletes that excel at motivational speaking, whether you’re looking to host a virtual or in-person event. Mayfield Sports Marketing can connect with booking agents for players like:
Brett Favre is an NFL legend with a 20-year career as an accomplished quarterback. He played in 299 consecutive NFL games, scored 509 touchdowns during his career, and guided the Packers to a win in Super Bowl XXXI.
Jerry Kramer is known best as an offensive lineman for the Greenbay Packers and for the signature play the “Packer Sweep”. He is also an accomplished author and sports commentator.
Desmond Howard not only is an accomplished return specialist in the NFL but a wide receiver as well. He is the recipient of the Heisman Trophy and currently works as a college football analyst for ESPN.
Gilbert Brown is a Green Bay Packers legend and Packers Hall of Famer. He played 125 games for the team with a recorded 292 tackles. He has helped coach, started a foundation for inner-city children, and donates to many other charitable causes.
Each of these players has their own story of overcoming personal obstacles to excel in their careers that are sure to motivate your employees to perform to the best of their ability.
