What’s at stake
Careers rarely stall for lack of talent.
They stall on a bad fit, a badly timed move, or a contract nobody read closely. Those decisions look small when you make them and permanent afterward.
You’ll know exactly what you’re signing
Every clause is read and negotiated by a practicing attorney — licensed since 2003, and the USA lead for the Association of Lawyer FIFA Football Agents, a network of over one hundred lawyer-agents worldwide.
You’ll know what clubs actually think
Our Director of Scouting held that title at Chicago Fire FC and spent years in European academy and professional football. You get the club’s honest read on you, from someone who used to give it.
You won’t be handed off
The person who signs you is the person who advises you. We turn down more players than we sign, so nobody gets passed to a junior associate when the decisions get hard.
How it works
Three steps. No obligation.
Most families put off the call because they don’t know what it commits them to. It commits you to nothing.

Mario chose soccer over baseball at eighteen and gave up a sport he loved to do it. He is also a father of two young athletes, which keeps him on the same sidelines as the families he works with.
