Sports agent Last updated October 12, 2025 Agent who procures and negotiates employment and endorsement contracts for athletes
A sports agent is a legal representative for professional athletes and coaches who negotiates employment and endorsement contracts on their behalf. Sports agents may also assist with financial planning, legal coordination, and marketing matters, often working alongside lawyers, accountants, and brand managers. [ 1]
Description Sports agents act as intermediaries between athletes and sports organizations, handling contract negotiations, sponsorships, and related business affairs. [ 2] Larger firms such as Creative Artists Agency , Roc Nation Sports , and Octagon may also manage brand partnerships, licensing deals, and media relations for clients.
Because professional sports contracts can be complex, many agents have strong backgrounds in law, business, or finance. They are expected to understand salary-cap systems, league regulations, and the economics of sports labor markets. [ 3] Agents typically represent multiple clients at once and may begin advising athletes while they are still amateurs or college players, in compliance with relevant league or state rules. [ 4]
