Promotion/Marketing/Endorsements
When it comes to maximizing a player’s earning potential, nothing is more important than a positive image. Once this image is created, maintenance of that image takes over and is often more important. One way of such maintenance is to quickly recognize which endorsements and offers one should accept and which ones to decline.
A poor offer may result in a large one-time salary, but it could also eliminate the possibility of future endorsements. We will help you find and analyze endorsement alternatives to maximize your career earnings. Also, we will help you interact positively with media when such opportunities arise to ensure that the best value is created.

As soon as the plan is laid out, we will help you reach the planned goals as well as maintaining and developing your skills.
Continuous sessions may be needed to make sure that your personal career plan is up-to-date.
Contract
In the world of professional sports, a contract defines the rules for each and every player. Today some leagues have introduced a so-called salary cap, which sets a limit on how much a given player can make during the first contract or even throughout that player’s entire career.
A typical contract consists of a yearly base salary, signing bonus, appearance bonus, and incentive bonus. Through skillful negotiation and by exploring different contract options, we will compose a personalized contract package for you.
Financial planning
The reality of professional sports is that players do have a limited career and must plan for their post-career future. We will work with you to determine what your personal goals are and develop an off-season plan on how to achieve them. For some players this could involve post-secondary education, for others a matter of finding a suitable area of employment.
