It is possible to include the profession of sports agent within a broader category of Sports Law professions, but Sports Law has the potential to incorporate a multitude of legal disciplines, including Contract Law, Intellectual Property Law, and the art of negotiation (which certainly plays a key role in every lawyer’s practice). Those three areas […]

Book Review: Tell To Win
Tell to Win is a book that has absolutely no underlying sports agent theme and is actually not about sports at all. However, the lessons learned by reading it could certainly be applied by sports agents and all other people who work in the business of sports. Tell to Win will officially be released for […]
I promised two book reviews last week, but I only delivered on one. The other book that I planned on reviewing is titled, Bigger than the Game – Bo, Boz, the Punky QB, and How the ’80s Created the Modern Athlete. It was a much longer read than Sports Junkies Rejoice, but it was also […]
I received a copy of Sports Junkies Rejoice back in June, right as I was studying for the Florida Bar Exam. I intended to read the book upon sitting for the Bar, but found myself preoccupied with moving to a new apartment in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida, traveling across the country for business and pleasure, […]

The one-time University of South Carolina football assistant coach and founder of a mega sports agency, Professional Management Incorporated (PMI), was released from prison a little over a year ago. Today, he is still a free man and living, which he should be very […]
My Life Outside the Ring, is the second autobiography by Hulk Hogan and as the title implies, it features the man behind the Hulk Hogan persona, Terry Boella. The legendary career and trademark personality of Hulk Hogan can be described to you by any Hulkamaniac, but the unscripted life of Terry Boella is much harder […]
A fairly common question that I receive from people interested in learning more about the sports agent business, is who are some of the people I look up to as mentors in the profession. One name that I cannot leave off that list is Donald Dell. I had the honor of initially meeting Dell as […]
For the second consecutive book review, I am discussing a book that has nothing to do with being a sports agent. I promise that the next one on the list will be all the sports agent you can handle. Anyway, I received The 100 Sporting Events You Must See Live directly from author, Robert Tuchman. […]

Book Review: Long Lost
This book is not something that will give you much insight into the sports agent profession. In fact, there is nothing to take away from this story that directly relates to being a sports agent. Long Lost by Harlan Coben is a fictional story, but its main character, Myron Bolitar, is a sports agent (the […]
