    Decide if you'd like to take courses to learn the different aspects of being a sports agent. If so, attend an accredited university that offers a degree in sports management. Although there are no special educational requirements to become a sports agent, an understanding of the many aspects of sports management is beneficial.

    Understand that to legally represent an athlete, you must successfully complete a registration process that includes examinations and fees. The registration process varies by state. You must also become certified to represent athletes in a specific sport and maintain that certification as long as your representation continues.

    Realize that in-depth knowledge of the sports you choose to represent is critical to being a successful sports agent. You must also keep up with the rules and regulations of the particular sports.

    Expect to negotiate contracts with teams and secure endorsements for the athletes you represent. Strong interpersonal and public speaking skills, along with the ability to build and maintain relationships are necessary to perform these duties effectively.

    Begin your career as a sports agent by working in a reputable agency. Network with other agents to find agencies in your area. Search agent lists by state online at websites like All Sports Agents Directory. Motivated, registered agents can start their own management company; it only takes one client to begin. Fostering a strong relationship with that client could lead to other clients.

    Good Luck
