I'm glad it was enjoyed. I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to disclose my client list due to FIFA regulations. In response to the earlier post, MLS salaries are available in full at:

At a time when representation is competitive and often ruthless, it is refreshing to have an agent share his insights and ideas for the benefit of the sport and to help continue to elevate MLS.

I agree that technology has changed the world for players and agents, specifically in the soccer world. I played college soccer and remember sending many DVD's to college coaches. Soccer is just now getting big in America. The lack of "soccer knowledge" in american has caused the MLS to look to bring in foreign players with big names to get the sport going in America (Beckham). The only way MLS and other American coaches can see these players is by video, dvd, or youtube. Without the new age technology the MLS might not exist and it would be a lot harder for teams to sign new players. After reading this article and another article on MLS salaries that Darren wrote about two years ago, I was curious if Max knew how much players in the MLS are making now a days? Maybe, who the top ten MLS salaries are now a days and which players you represent? Nice article Max!
