What is really like being a sports agent?
David Baden is my guest on today’s podcast. David is an agent for one of the largest agency firms in the world, IMG a division of William Morris Endeavor. His specialty is working with Winter Olympic athletes. David’s story is inspiring knowing that you don’t always get the exact career you thought you wanted. Having a background and passion for tennis, David was hoping for a job with IMG working with tennis companies and athletes. He was offered the job to work with winter sport Olympians and he never looked back.
We had a great talk about being successful as a sports agent, the many countries he visited while touring with his athletes, how the lockdown is affecting his business and what he sees for his future after the lockdown.
