Interview With Mark Steinberg Scheduled For Tomorrow

Grab your phone, open up a new e-mail message, scream at the top of your lungs, and spread the word that tomorrow, SportsAgentBlog.com – I Want to be a Sports Agent will feature an interview with Mark Steinberg. In case you did not know, he is IMG’s managing director of golf for North America.

Today, I covered a story about how IMG has changed its image from a mega sports agency focused on team-sports to a more media/entertainment service that retains its focus on individual sports (golf, tennis, etc.). IMG still is the agency that represents a man named Tiger Woods (ever hear of him?) and his personal agent since 1998 has been Mark Steinberg. He also represents Annika Sorenstam along with many other high profile golfers.

It is with extreme pleasure and excitement that I announce an interview with one of the most influential agents in the industry. It will be posted at some point tomorrow morning.
