Does Your Student-Athlete Need an Agent? What Every Parent Must Know!

When your child is pursuing college or professional athletics, one of the biggest questions parents face is: Do they need an agent—and if so, when? In this episode, I break down the realities behind that decision from both a legal and practical perspective. We'll cover the differences between an agent and sports attorney, when it makes sense to bring in an agent/attorney, and the risks of getting it wrong. I'll also explain how NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) has changed the landscape, what role agents can legally play for student-athletes today, and how parents can protect their child.  Whether your athlete is just starting to get recruited or already competing at a high level, this episode gives you a clear, straightforward framework to make informed decisions—with your child's future in mind.
