The idea of working in a sports team’s front office, or as a sports agent, sounds nearly magical. Being paid to hang out with elite athletes, watch games from a luxury suite, and talk sports all day just sounds incredible.
It’s also not a reality.
These jobs require intricate knowledge of operations, player development, negotiation, the collective bargaining agreement, and the salary cap.
If this is your dream then the time is now to put in the work to get there and this course will set you on the right path:
In this one-of-a-kind course you will learn:
...and much more
This is the insight and advanced knowledge that will set you apart as an agent, front office staffer, media member, and more!
This course is designed for anyone who wants to work in sports including agents, journalists, coaches, GM’s, scouts, and more. All are welcome and can benefit from the perspective of someone as established and respected in player representation as Joel Corry.
The simple truth is you cannot be a responsible sports agent if you don’t understand the salary cap and collective bargaining agreement where your athletes participate.
You are negligent in the practice of athlete representation and unqualified to act in your players best interests without knowing the salary cap and CBA.
This is the course to vault you into a more powerful position as a sports agent - it is the expertise you need.

The course makes students go through a very thorough analysis of the salary cap rules of all major sports. The reading material covers everything you need to know about the salary cap, and I even learned a few things from my fellow students on the discussion board.

If you need hands on experience scouting, including feedback and formatting reports, then NetScouts has an ideal option, with their in-depth scouting program. Having spent a full NCAA season scouting for them across the US, I had support the whole way. Entry into games, great seats and excellent advice. Now, with NetScouts teaming up with SMWW, they've gone to a new level. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to start out in the basketball industry.

Sports Capology was a great experience. The chats were excellence and they taught me so much. The instructor treats you like a friend instead of a student which helps in your learning. He takes the time to explain things as well as listens to what you have to say. If your interested in the salary cap of any sport, this is the course that can teach you all about it.

The Athlete Management Course has allowed me to develop a career in the competitive industry of sports management. Without the knowledge, support and networking opportunities provided by Sports Management Worldwide (SMWW) I would never have been able to offer the high quality services that my clients expect and deserve. Being based in London, England I have found that the Athlete Management Course has given me a professional edge over other agents in Europe which is due to the qualities of the SMWW staff and fellow SMWW Agent Advisors. I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about becoming or understanding the world of a Sports Agent.

I loved the class and the ethical compass of Dr. Lashbrook and the staff of SMWW. The class was informative, interactive and fun. The course gave me the basic tools to feel comfortable working with athletes. I would advise this class for anybody with a passion for sports. The cost of the class is minimal compared to knowledge and contacts you will get in return.

It's just a great program. It's the most convenient way to gain an edge in the field of sports agency, & it's effective. Looking back, I would have to say that it was a wise investment.
