Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (12/30/2011)

I am back from Barcelona and Israel!  It was a fantastic trip full of sightseeing, eating unbelievable food, and relaxing with my girlfriend and her family overseas.  However, I must admit that it is nice to be back around my friends and family.  You know you are doing what you love when you do not mind getting back to work.  My Miami Heat are off to a great 3-0 start!  I will be attending the home game on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.  Sports Agent Blog will be turning 6 years old tomorrow.  A site that began on December 31, 2005 as a New Years Resolution to “force myself” to stay on top of the happenings in the sports agent industry has become quite the successful venture.  Thanks to each and every one of you reading this post and thousands of other posts that have been written over the many years.  Your continued support will keep a smile on my face.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
