Should A Sports Agency CEO Be Social Networking?

I have talked about how out of the few agents who actually have a social media presence, many need to learn how to properly use the networks, not only for damage control, but also because building a strong fan/follower/friend base can lead to more money for the agents and their clients. In reality, many athlete […]

Going Back To SPARTA Talk In 2003

I have to give a shout out to my man Joshua Golka, who found a treasure in C-SPAN’s archives.  He dug up the House Session dated 6/4/2003, which dealt with the Sports Agent Responsibility and Trust Act, also known as SPARTA.  If you have read my paper titled, Duties of Sports Agents to Athletes and […]

Agent Spotlight: Happy Walters
