Big D is right on – Football is tough. In my first year I represented 25 guys – 6 first team all-americans (not D1) as well as many D1 talents – Wow – What a story, I swear I could write a book – and these guys aren’t loyal – no matter what amount of money you spend on training, etc.

[...] It is not just Blue that is trying to shed that limiting phrase from what is associated with his name. When I talk to executives at some of the largest “agencies”, a majority of them want to emphasize to me that when I report on their companies, I should talk about not only what they do in the athlete representation world, but their other areas of business as well. And then there are those who also can’t stand the “sports agent” phrase to begin with. As you may already know, I am one of those people. [...]

Great article! I recently entered the sports business world and I agree totally. I understand how competitive it is to stay afloat in this grueling industry,and how poor agents ruin the ethical standards and turn into “yess men” for their potential clients.

Paying for training is a big issue I have. If you’re a top pick most places will let you come for free to market their business. Will I pay for training? Sure, if the kid has a solid draft grade rounds 1-5. Will I make sure his/her end to end needs are met? Sure. Will I cater to every want ? Sure will not!!!! These kids and parents have become ridiculous in the demands they are requesting. If they see a kid on TV get certain things you better believe they want two times what they saw. An agent should really be more in tune with a teams needs as he is working for his client, not his girlfriends wants!!!!!
