  2. Why does this interest me? • A sports agent plays an active role in monitoring their clients life. A great part of being a sports agent is that you have multiple fields to work in. You may pursue a career in baseball players or perhaps football players. This career allows you to follow athletes of your favorite sports, so for me I can pursue a career in representing NFL players or professional soccer players. I would excel in this career because I like to keep active in the sports world. This job would allow me to keep in touch with clients and also the sporting world itself.

  3. History and Future • Sports agent became an increasing profession in the 80’s. Most NFL players did not use agents before the 90’s.

  4. Salary, Benefits, and Perks • Sport Agents have no defined salary because they make a portion of how much their clients make. This means they make up to 10% of some players contract depending on the league they play in (NFL is 3% and NBA 4%). Benefits include tickets to games and attending parties such as the Madden release party held in Los Angeles.

  5. Career Ladder • Most Sport Agents start off as in internship to a company. They shadow a worker and watch as they meet with players to discuss contracts and future. If liked, you move on as an employee to that firm. Sport Agents usually work in groups and are run by firms. Becoming the top salesman will lead you to CEO of that company, where you designate who will work with each player that represents that firm.
