How To Become A Sports Agent

Go to as many events as you can to meet existing owners, general managers, executives, coaches, players, and other agents in the business. Attend minor league and collegiate games, lower-level athletic events, and scouting events, all which will help you find athletes who might be looking for your services in the future.

Regardless of what sport you choose, know the average and minimum salaries of each league, and the general and maximum percentages that an agent can earn from a client’s salary.

Many handle their client’s financial business including managing investments and tax preparation as well as deal with their marketing endeavors including endorsements, sponsorships, appearances, memorabilia and autograph signings.

Becoming a sports agent requires superior networking skills, an excellent education, and communication skills.
