An Agent Who Likes To Vlog

Very few agents allow anyone outside of their employees, and sometimes their interns, into their lives for a first hand look into their day-to-day life.  I had two goals when I started this website:

  1. Become a more knowledgeable person by researching and studying the sports agent profession, while networking with established sports agents to adopt their best practices and learn about weak spots in the industry.
  2. Open up the profession for everyone to see.  Allow others to follow my path to becoming a sports agent and expose the agents for the good things they do and the actions they take that can get them in trouble.

With the invention of Twitter, more agents have begun to open themselves up and display their personality and humility to a large audience.  Some agents have also taken up blogging.  A true pioneer is Jack Bechta, who recently started video blogging, also known as vlogging.  He put together two clips, under 10 minutes each, from Week 1 of the NFL season, where he made a stop in Pittsburgh and Cleveland.  Recently, he uploaded a 5 minute clip from Week 2 (this past weekend).  Bechta stayed at home Week 2, and was able to see one of his clients who came in to play the Chargers.

I have embedded all three videos below for your viewing pleasure.  Again, major kudos to Bechta for embracing social media and using it the right way.

      Ask any agent…this business tends to consume your life. That’s why you better truly know that it’s something you love before you jump in head first.
