You're not yet but you would like to be one of them? If you belong to one of these groups, let me ask you a question: Has anyone, ever, explained to you what this profession is about? I mean the day-to-day. Do you know what to do? And more important, do you know how to do it? I'll go further. Do you know the variables you have to pay special attention to? And the obstacles that will appear and how to overcome them? I will share with you the question I asked myself at the time: "I am already a FIFA agent, now what?" Tell me, is it familiar to you? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Now think about how you would feel if I told you that you can learn the keys of this profession from a practical point of view. Imagine yourself making a qualitative step forward as an agent! Sounds good, right? Well, it is possible. This is the book I wish I had read when I started. In my case it took me time to realize many things, so now I want you to save time and bad moments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the SOCCER version of "How to Become a Football Agent", which appplies to the rest of the world outside of Europe. There''s not much in the way of formal education on how to go about being a soccer agent. It doesn''t guarantee that you''ll get clients when you set up in business. You''ll need tenacity, desire, motivation, ingenuity, and resourcefulness. It''s a really hard business and only the toughest survive. Everyone assumes that it''s easy because they only hear about the huge deals that are reported in the media, which isn''t quite true. There''s so much more that goes on in the background that the general public aren''t aware of, and some of it is really boring. However, when a deal materialises, then all the hard work involved is really worth it ! The man in the street has no idea how difficult and stressful this career is. Please be warned that you''ll need to have some very deep pockets before you get started. It''s a very expensive business to get into. You''ll need funds for taxis, hotels, flights, phone calls, restaurants, etc. You may spend lots of money, sometimes without reward. That''s why soccer agents earn the huge sums they do ..... to cover all the failed opportunities and times they''ve spent money on chasing clients and deals that have ended in nothing. It can be quite heartbreaking at times. Also, you''ll need money to tide you over when deals aren''t being done, as well as attending to all your normal living expenses. In the beginning you may earn very little at all. Many aspiring soccer agents are frustrated by the shortage of information available to them and often give up on their dream job, thinking that getting into this type of industry is a ''closed shop''. We''re trying to equip you with the tools and skills that you''ll need so that you have the very best chance of succeeding in what''s become a very competitive industry. It will also discuss the regulatory process, enabling you to take your first footsteps into the exciting world of soccer player management. In today''s world of soccer we often see big deals and contracts being signed by players and clubs. Have you ever wondered how deals worth millions of dollars are secured ? It''s only due to the work of professional soccer agents that such lucrative deals can be done. Agents search, negotiate, bargain and secure contracts for their clients, who may be soccer players, managers or coaches. Major contracts can''t be signed without them. Apart from having the required professional skills, a passion for the game is also a key component for success. Patience, hard work and perseverance are also some very important virtues and skills needed. You can''t expect to set up your agency today and then start closing big deals for your clients tomorrow. It just doesn''t work like that. The best way is to start small, and to get your experience with the lesser lights in the lower leagues. The relevance of all of this is to allow you to make small mistakes in the beginning and learn from them before going on to the big leagues. With determination and hard work, your reputation will increase and eventually the big deals will arrive. From the outside looking in, the job of soccer agents can seem to be very glamorous indeed, but there''s a lot of work that happens behind the scenes. The agents often put in very long hours, and spend a lot of time on the phone. They must also be able to multitask and should be highly self-motivated. Before you get started on becoming a soccer agent, research the business throughly for a few months before you really decide whether you actually want to become an agent. If you''re well connected in this industry, then by all means, go ahead. Don''t get into this business if you''re going to be half-hearted and you''re only trying it out to see if it works for you. The super-agents that you see in the media aren''t youngsters. They''ve been at it for many years, and it''s taken them a lot of time to build up their businesses.

After many years in the world of soccer, first as a player and now as an agent, I've noticed that there are many parents who would like to represent their children in their sport career. In fact, many of them already do. However, there are many cases in which the professional relationship established between them eventually affects the family relationship. As a result, both the professional relationship and the family relationship end up dynamited. That is why in this book I wanted to pick up my two earlier works: "The Art of being a Soccer Agent" and Are you a Pushy Parent?", so that all those parents who want to lead the career of their children have the best tools to perform their duties. These books are focused on soccer, the first one is more technical and the second one more emotional, but they are equally valid for any other sport. I hope you like it and that it helps you a lot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary Charles C. "Cash and Carry" Pyle, considered by most to be the first sports agent, negotiated a $3,000-per-game contract for Red Grange to play professional football for the Chicago Bears in 1933. Today, salaries in the tens of millions of dollars are commonplace, and instead of theatrical promoters and impresarios, professionally trained businessmen and lawyers dominate the business. But whereas rules and penalties govern the playing field, there are far fewer restrictions on agents. Incidents of agents' manipulating athletes, ranging from investment scams to outright theft of a player's money, are far too frequent, and there is growing consensus for reform In The Business of Sports Agents, Kenneth L. Shropshire and Timothy Davis, experts in the fields of sports business and law, examine the history of the sports agent business and the rules and laws developed to regulate the profession. They also consider recommendations for reform, including uniform laws that would apply to all agents, redefining amateurism in college sports, and stiffening requirements for licensing agents. This revised and expanded second edition brings the volume up-to-date on recent changes in the industry, including: - the closing of one of the largest agencies - high-profile personnel moves - passage of the federal Sports Agent Responsibility and Trust Act - the National Football League's aggressive and high-profile efforts to regulate agents
