Episode Notes
How confident are you that you chose the right agent?
In a $10 billion industry, it brings a host of characters that want a piece of your business. It can be difficult to know who are the people that have the expertise and the experience to help you.
Too often, the only advice you receive is to do your due diligence. But that assumes you know what questions to ask, which is largely untrue. So what ends up happening is families are trying to do the best they can, but end up asking the wrong questions, and when you ask the wrong questions, you're going to get an answer, it's just the wrong answer.
In this podcast, we provide a framework and the right questions to ask when choosing your sports agent.

Who is qualified to meet those needs?
What are the three types of employees of an agency that the MLBPA regulates?
