Baseball agents love it when a team like the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox makes it to the playoffs year after year and is always fighting for a chance to win the World Series. Not because a majority of agents are true fans of either team, but because they can then go to […]

I represent athletes, but first and foremost, I consider myself an Educator. They really run hand-in-hand, though. I make sure to provide all of my clients up-to-date, relevant information that will help them succeed in life. I do the same for athletes who are not yet my clients, but whom I may be advising before […]
Last Thursday, CNBC’s Darren Rovell spoke with sports agent, David Falk. David Falk calls Coach K the Michael Jordan of coaching.

Darren Rovell has a very interesting piece on his blog that describes the development of Jack Marucci‘s bat company, which has its products used by some of Major League Baseball’s best hitters.

Me and my Jewish brethren (including Ryan Braun, Kevin Youkilis, and others) finished accomplishing that feat last night. Nothing beats the break-fast meal. I am back home in South Florida for the weekend, […]

Shoe Blues
Yesterday, Darren Rovell reported that none of the players who will be selected at the top of the NBA Draft this Thursday had signed a deal with a shoe company. Are we panicking prematurely, however? There certainly is not a Lebron James type personality in this draft, but perhaps the players are going back and […]
