Born to Be a Sports Agent


Book Description

This book is a culmination of my three decades (wow, that sounds like a long time) of being a sports agent. It's not that I woke up one day and decided to become a sports agent. My entire life has been encased in football, and I'm happy it turned out that way. I feel like I've actually lived three lives; one as a coach's kid, one as a coach's wife, and one as a sports agent, but, really, all three have been and continue to be a massive part of who I am as a human being. Representation without taxation must remain central in the ever-changing and evolving world of athletics, both amateur and pro. Sports professionals need fair representation without it costing ridiculous sums of money and that's why I stand for protection, advocacy, and trust.
