+I chose the Sports Agency Industry

I chose the sports agency industry because I love sports and the statistics of sports. Throughout my entire life I have has always wanted to have a job in the sports industry and to be a sports agent would be a dream come true.

+Why and how I picked Jordan Feagan I have known Jordan for 4 years through his son Wyatt

who is one of my closest friends. I knew Jordan was in the sports industry and he knows it has always been a passion of mine so he generously took me on a trip to Chicago to learn more about what he does.

Since that I knew that’s what I wanted to do.

I also wanted to learn whats its like to be in the sports agency industry.

+What I learned

I learned the difficulties of becoming a sports agent. This is a hard industry to join but it is very rewarding.

Jordan has over 60 clients at one time and even started his own business. I learned how far sports agency can take you and how you can build relationships with players that can last a life time.

I learned that Jordan had no plans of being sports agent, and got a law degree, and the first job offer he got was to be a sports agent and then he fell in love.

+What I learned I learned the steps I need to take in order to become a

sports agent.

The most important thing I learned is that I need a law degree if I want to be a sports agent. Without it, the highest I can be is an assistant.

I also learned what I could do to get to the point that Jordan got to. Whether its joining an existing agency or starting my own by convincing players to join my agency (which I learned is one of the hardest things to accomplish) I now have a better understanding on what I must do to achieve my goal.
