Graduating from your undergraduate institution in April or May and want to break into the business of sports (particularly in the representation of athletes) but have no idea where to start? Here’s a list of options. There is no “right” path to success, but the following list provides some insight into ways that you can better prepare yourself for the life as a sports agent and possibly get your first foot through the door.
1. Don’t stop learning. Have you taken the LSAT or GRE? If not, it may be too late to take either standardized test in order to be admitted into a law school or masters program this Fall. If you have taken one of the 2 tests, you may want to consider getting a graduate/law degree. For one, the NFL requires that you have one if you wish to be certified by the players’ association. But even if you just want to focus your practice on basketball, baseball, or some other sport, the knowledge, tools, and connections you will gain from a masters program or law school are very valuable in this field. My own two cents – Go to law school and see if the school allows you to take some out-of-law classes like Sport Marketing.
