Professor Peter Carfagna (see biography) will be holding a free online course starting on September 16. The course is titled ‘Representing The Professional Athlete’. To date, over 1,100 students from 90-plus countries have enrolled in the course, which will be comprised of lectures, guest speakers and hypothetical situations.
“There are 6 modules. Each one is about 75 minutes and features the best sports marketing and investment advisors in the industry,” Professor Peter Carfagna said. “It’s a who’s who in the world of sports agents and advisors.”
The six-week course will take students through the four stages of the professional athlete’s career. According to the course website, “This course will provide each student with the skills necessary to guide an athlete through the difficult decisions that can make or lose the athlete millions of dollars, and affect their public image and career. Walking through the four stages of an athlete’s career, we will provide a broad scope of the landscape of amateur and professional sports so that you can avoid the pitfalls and traps that so many have fallen into in the past; not to mention, bringing you updates throughout the course regarding the rapidly changing sports world that we live in today.
“Analyzing the best practices in the management of the superstar athletes with whom Professor Carfagna and his expert guests have worked, we will show you how to manage the career of any professional athlete who might seek your guidance at any stage of his or her professional career.”
