Abstract
A relatively new profession, agents (i.e., sports agents) are now considered an important component in the sport industry. Based on a contractual relationship, sports agents represent the interests of sportspersons and receive commission for their services. Owing to the increasingly professionalized and globalized nature of sport, the services a sports agent provides relate to the negotiation of employment and endorsement contracts based on the agent's expertise in the vocation. Depending on the jurisdiction, sports agents are subject to differing levels of regulations that govern the profession. Sports agents operate under various guises including family members, individuals, and large, multinational corporations.
