Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anyone that I know in Atlanta. However, if I think of anyone, I will leave a comment for you. With your experience in asset management, I think it is very possible to break into the industry. Many sports agents outsource asset management work for their clients. It might be possible to start out working for an agency in this capacity and then networking to break into the sports agent business. I’ll keep in touch.

Thanks for the comment. I will definitely use the information you gave me. Google Alerts isn’t always reliable. I’ve gotten several emails using this with stories that didn’t even involve the client. This will be very helpful.

Thanks for the comment. I would like to keep in contact as well. I can give you whatever insight I can into law school. I would also appreciate any insight you can give me. You can reach me at rawebber34@gmail.com.

Congratulations on the internship! I have been following SportsAgentBlog since the beginning of 2009 and have taken away some great insight from Darren and the Dynasty Team regarding the agent business and what it takes to become involved. I will be starting law school in the fall and like you, I am focusing my legal education specifically on areas that will help me in the sports business arena. I am looking forward to your blog posts and I will provide you with any insight I can from my past experiences working in MLB, NBA, and a Top 5 sports agency. I hope to be in touch in the future.

A couple of other tools you may want to try (in addition to Google Alerts): http://Addictomatic.com and http://Surchur.com . They don’t send email like google alerts, but they have some different data sources, if you’re looking for more detail on a client.

I’d be interested in your thoughts on approaching a piece of the agent’s world…. the investment portion of handling an athlete client. I have been asset management consultant for 20+ years, and like yourself, would be very interested in finding out how to break into working with sports aganets. From what you you have seen and heard, what thoughts do you have on that? Anyone here in Atlanta that might be a good network contact for me to meet with? Any of your thoughts or any of the other readers of this blog would very appreciated… thanks.
