All agents are glorified contract lawyers. SO go to law school concentrate on contract law and litigation and you are on your way. \n\nJust do not be a dirtbag and screw college kids out an education by telling them they could go pro after their freshman year.

well first off, you better be in some sort of sports management or sports law program.  and you better send your resume to every single team at least once.  some mlb teams get close to 1000 apps for every internship

Advertise, or get the local newspaper to do an article on you and your sport.\n\nContact the manufacturers of your equipment and sell yourself.

First off, I would suggest finding a film or TV production company in your local area. Better to be a big fish in a smaller moviemaking pond like Capetown than to be just another guppy in Hollywood. Star in as much as you can whether its TV radio, movies, telethons, personal appearances, etc. Get together a resume of solid work and start sending the resumes and a clips reel of stuff youve done to talent agents in larger markets. Work your way up, it takes a long time, but if you have talent, talent will not be denied.

Some information you might be interested in.    Good luck too as collecting is a lot of fun.\n\nSports Memorabilia\nLooking for Sports Memorabilia?\nFor six years now, 1clicksportsmemorabilia.com has provided quality links and information on sports memorabilia. We offer links to online retailers of products licensed by sports leagues such as the NBA (National Basketball League), MLB (Major League Baseball), NFL (National Football League) and the NHL (National Hockey League). All memorabilia to which we link is guaranteed authentic and they have relationships with the nation’s top providers of genuine, signed memorabilia. Authenticity is generated only through signings or witnessed by an agent of the top memorabilia vendors. Every item of memorabilia is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and is guaranteed by the company.\n\nOne site we recommend for selection, price and authenticity is sports memorabilia. This site carries great baseball memorabilia, football memorabilia, basketball memorabilia, hockey memorabilia, and boxing memorabilia \n\nThe exciting world of sports memorabilia is one of America’s fastest growing markets. Collectors snap up items relating to their favorite stars, both as an investment and a fun, interactive hobby. There’s nothing quite like holding a dusty, game-used bat or a dented football helmet. Whether you follow baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer or any of the other thrilling professional sports, athletes have never performed better. And it’s never too late to get on the sports memorabilia bandwagon—the next Lebron James or Derek Jeter could be starting his rookie year with your home team. Here’s a good place for \n\nSports collecting has been making headlines for the wrong reasons too. Unfortunately, unscrupulous dealers pass off forged autographs and fakes every day. Recent, highly publicized surveys estimate that up to 50% of sports memorabilia online is fake and many people have horror stories about ordering “certified” sports merchandise on ebay, only to find that they could have printed the “certificate of authenticity” on their own color printer. To combat fraud, athletes now make a practice of signing items only on official signing days. Reputable dealers employ a third party agent to witness the signing and affix the item with a unique, numbered hologram. This hologram is entered into the company database, making for an easy-to-track, fraud-proof system. A fan can still luck out and get an autograph at the ballpark, but athletes are well aware of the dishonest resale business that’s sprung up around their signatures, and they will try to personalize all items signed for fans. If a dealer claims to have gotten items signed “in the locker room,” it’s a pretty good guess that they’re fake. Take a look at autographed sports memorabilia and authentic sports memorabilia, and sports display cases.\n\nBut a savvy sports collectable shopper—and if you just read the last paragraph you now qualify—will have no trouble finding thrilling items to help build their collection at any price range. The history of sports memorabilia collecting goes back almost as far as the history of sports in America. Baseball is regarded as the first, true collectors’ sport. Larger than life icons like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle became American symbols and everyone wanted a piece of the action. Professional football came later, after it was regarded as a college sport for many years. Today, basketball has never been hotter, with many stars recording songs and dating high-profile celebrities. Collectors looking for a bargain might want to turn to the growing MLS—Major League Soccer—where there’s talent and bargains to go around. Or maybe the WWF? Wrestling collectables are reasonably priced and the squared circle has proven its enduring popularity. The same goes for NASCAR, where passionate fans can buy everything from flags and coolers to replica cars and figur

Start off by volunteering at a HS or little league team. \n\nOr if you are in college, get in touch with the school team and see about being a manager and there you can get a lot of good knowledge by watching all the practices.

You have to probably played the game, at least in college. Then you have to get a degree in something like kineseology, and be a high school asst coach. If that coach is really successful he'll go up to college, and probably want to take his assistants with him. That means you could coordinate in college or possibly take over coaching the high school. Either way you have to be successful enough for another college to wish to hire you as head coach. Afterwards you have to be a very successful college coach, and get the attention of an NFL coach or general manager. After that you can be brought up to assist whatever coach, and if you do well in that aspect of the game you might get an offer in a few years from a bad team to be the head coach.

hard work and a great agent. You should probably even go to classes for it first to have an edge but I've heard it's a very hard business to get into if you don't sound unique.

look, you need a professional to give you advice'cause he can measure your ability and skills.\nYou can be a professional as long as you full fill the requirements.\nEDIT: by a professional I meant a coach not a player.

Check your local news paper, or ask around.  Go to sports areas and ask people there.  Maybe they can direct you or introduce you to others with your interest.

Ok to become a NBA coach you need a lot.  Four years of college ball.  Some in the NBA too.  In college you should major in Psycology or management.  Then from there you can do two things try to get a job in NBA by mailing a long letter or E-mailing to trty to set up a meeting, or you could get a job at the college you went to and become the head coach.  If major colleges look at you from there then go there and eventually get recognized in the National Spotlight.  Then jobs will open up in the NBA and thats all i can help.  I hope it helps you and Good Luck!

Most Scouts or Front Office people of Major league sports, are usually former athletes themselves.  As for a Major any business related theme, or sports management ( if offered).\n\nI would suggest taking classes in Psychology and sociology as well.\n\nSome colleges do offer sports themed majors.  \n\nThe main thing about getting a position for a Major league team is more of WHO you know than WHAT You Know.\n\nLook for internships, see if you can volunteer during the summer or offer help, just to get your foot in the door while still in college.\n\nSee if you can work with you College Athletic department, they do have student volunteers and the experience and networking with professional will help you in your long term goal.\n\nGood LUCK!!!!
