Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (12/1/2017)

Well we have finally made it to the month of December. 22 days until I get married and a month until I go to South Africa for my honeymoon. Business is booming at Heitner Legal, with many cases settling to the delight of clients and with the firm picking up a lot of new clients in its Family Law division that was created roughly a year ago. I’m headed to Montego Bay, Jamaica this Thursday-Sunday and hopefully my ankle is healed enough from a basketball injury to hit a few golf courses while I’m out there. I am going to make it my New Year’s Resolution to finally take golf lessons and become better at the game. Seems attainable. Happy to have a new coach in Gainesville and Dan Mullen has my full support!

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
