Sampras Plans To Serve Up Some Clients

My favorite tennis player of all-time, Pete Sampras has created Pure Sports Management, LLC with his brother Gus serving as President of the company.

In the immediate future, Pure Sports Management will only focus on representing Pete Sampras’s post-career in the form of marketing, endorsements, personal appearances, etc. In the long-term, the company hopes to add more clients in its representation capacity.

Pete Sampras brings along experience in totally dominating the sport of tennis. His brother has actual industry experience as a former 12-year employee of IMG. His most important position with the company was as VP of Tennis.

Currently, Pure Sports Management’s website is being developed, but I will include a link over to the site in the links tab.
