THE PLAYBOOK FOR BETTER SPORTS DECISIONS
Talent gets you seen. Decisions get you signed.
Paperback & Kindle Editions
— ABOUT THE BOOK
The sports world today is noisy. Between travel teams, showcases, rankings, social media, NIL deals, agents, the transfer portal — it’s easy for athletes and their families to get pulled off track. Most career setbacks don’t happen because of a lack of talent — they happen because of poor decisions made with the wrong information.
Make the Smart Move cuts through the noise. Written by an attorney, sports agent, and former D1 Yale athlete, this book gives athletes and families a practical framework for the decisions that actually shape careers — from development choices and agent selection to NCAA eligibility and NIL.

“It is not always about having more information. A lot of times, it is about correctly understanding the information you already have.”
