Encore: An NBA Snub Leads to a 10-Year International Career and ESPN-Disney, with Eric Dailey

Eric Dailey, founder of Dailey Training, was a professional basketball player, a stand-out on major teams in Europe, Asia and South America. Without an agent he successfully negotiated contracts, managed travel arrangements and conducted try-outs. While playing for Real Madrid in Spain—a top tier team in Europe—Eric learned he could negotiate better for his own best interests than an agent in the U.S.  Building relationships with general managers globally, he learned the intricacies of corporate business. Eric is now president of two international companies, Dailey Training International (basketball) and Global Cup World Championships (youth basketball).
