How to Find a Sports Agent

1. The first step is to ask others. If you are an athlete with this type of talent you certainly have numerous contacts. Call professional athletes and ask them who their agent is.
2. Get the Sports Agent Directory. It has a long list.
3. Talk to many different agents. Don't jump on the first one you speak with. They might be the one you sign with, but make sure they are the best.
4. Check into their background, don't take their word for it. If they are truly what they claim this will not be a problem.
5. Remember, if you plan on playing in college, don't sign anything. Signing with an agent will instantly wipe out your eligibility.
