Friday Wrap-Up

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (12/29/2017)

So we officially soared to new Heitners. Some of you who have been reading this blog for a long time were in attendance at my wedding with Brooke. Others have certainly been inundated with updates. It was honestly a magnificent affair, and I am beyond excited to see what the future brings personally and professionally. It’s been a slower December for my rooting interests with the Dolphins playing poorly, the Heat being mediocre and the Gators without a Bowl game. My excitement has shifted to the beginning of January, when I’ll be heading to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia for some relaxation, a safari and a river cruise. These Friday updates may or may not be published, but the regular contributors will keep the site fresh with new information.

Sports Law

By Darren Heitner

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.
