Featured On Intern-U

One of my buddies from high school debate (yes, I was one of those kids), Dan Chaparian, has launched a new site along with some friends called intern-U. It’s a nice Web 2.0 site that displays internship openings and reviews for a variety of industries.

Anyway, I have somehow been labeled an expert, and have a piece posted detailing my experiences as an intern at Career Sports & Entertainment [Internships for Sports Agents]. There should also be another post from me up on intern-U on Saturday. Go check it out, see if it’s a good read, and support a friend with some entrepreneurial spirit.

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.
