Sports Player Agent

[z3r0]

I'm interested in getting more information on Player Agents.

How do you get a career in this "industry"? Is it worth your time getting into these or is there just too much competition these days? What websites should I check out to take courses etc.. on this? Anything like that exist?


Thank you!

Most agents have law degrees, no?

Most are usually involved with the sport in some capacity as well (ie: former players).

Here's a link to NHL player agents and what you need to do to become one as well:

And yeah, most if not all have a Law degree because you will be dealing with a lot of legal documents in contracts, negotiation etc.

Tough to get into without the right connections for sure. Good Luck.
