How to get started to be a sports agent

The North American Society for Sports Management is a great way to really start networking with people that are currently working in the sports agent industry. The purpose of the North American Society for Sport Management is to promote, stimulate, and encourage study, research, scholarly writing, and professional development in the area of sport management - both theoretical and applied aspects. The association wants the industry to improve the landscape of sports management by giving useful material and also conferences to give and get information about the new and upcoming members and information that may be useful for them for the future. The site is designed to inform their members on how to join and also attend conferences. 


This year the conference was held in Seattle, Washington.  The conference went over some very important and prevalent topics such as Twitter with sports. This one topic was to investigate the effectiveness of certain social-mediated messages by exploring the underlying factors of consumer response. This topic alone indeed will help out many new sports agents in viewing how different types of  consumers respond back to certain messages sent out by their clients. 


Not only just listening to these different types of events at the conference will be useful but also using the opportunity to network with current and upcoming agents will be handy for many new agents. This conference you will be able to interact with many different types of agents and see exactly how they are handling their clients and also how they are handling different types of situations that they may have encountered. 


The site itself also offers many resources that will be handy for many people that are entering into the field. One of them is the Journal of Sports Management. The journal embraces a number of areas as they relate to the management, governance, and consumption of sport such as: organizational theory, behavior, and strategy; sport operations; law and policy; economics, finance, and accounting; marketing, consumer behavior, sponsorship, advertising, and licensing; media, communications, and public relations; sport tourism; facility and event management; and gender and diversity. 


And of course the site will give you insight on how to earn a position inside this exclusive field. They gave you different job research companies in which you can learn about new positions in the field with different types of sports management agencies. This is definitely handy when looking for any position when you have to know someone to get ahead.
