I had zero contacts in the sports agent industry when I started college. I made contacts by cold calling a few people and met an agent through one of them. I kept in contact with him and during law school I told him I was serious about the agent thing. After many unanswered phone calls he gave me a chance to intern. During my internship they realized I knew my stuff and kept me on after I grad law school. Just make phone call after phone call, take a junior agent to lunch to pick their brain. The key is you need to know your shit. I am currently starting out as an agent at a top baseball management firm and didnt go to an ivy league law school, nor did I play ball past HS. So it can be done. Just work your ass off. I disagree with this. I had zero contacts in the sports agent industry when I started college.
