Anyone know anything about the business. I know you represent athletes and all but does anyone know anything about it in depth? I dont know because I was thinking about getting into the real estate business but since the market is fucked up I was wondering how easy being a sports agent is. I was comparing the two and they seem to be alike but as a sports agent you have to have personal relations with your client. As a real estate salesperson, once the deal closes, you dont have to contact that person as much, unless you want continual business and referrals.

Well you gotta start somewhere right? Its not like the best agents out there started and all of a sudden got Lebron James as there agent. I know you gotta have a rep and all but to get to the top, u gotta start from the bottom. I also heard once you get a license and all, you can get mentored at a Sports Agency. They teach you the ropes and once you learn everything its all about mouthpiece.
no actually you dont it is much easier than that i also looked into it the company i was goin to go through had it to were you could learn at home once a week on mondays for one hour online and over the phone like a group conference type you gotta pay of course for it but once your done you get everything you need and they give you a list of sports agencys to get in contact with to be mentored by
most agents are lawyers...my dad is a sports agent but he does more of the talkin to players and talent side his partner handles all the legal shit...basically what u do is get the player meetings r try outs with teams they sign a contract and u get like 1-5 % of everthing they make...just to let u kno there is a big market for agents in overseas sports mainly basketball...they only make like $300,000 playin in like china or sumthin but if u got like 15-20 clients thats major bread...also u need to kno alot about the sport ur getting into not only how the game is played but the business side of that sport too...also watch arlis on hbo
