Our research and diligence in preparation for contract negotiations is second to none, and we go into every negotiation more knowledgeable and better prepared than our competition. We also spend as much time as needed explaining to you, the client, what we feel your value is and how we came to that conclusion. You are kept informed at every step along the way during the negotiation of your contract, and will therefore be extremely knowledgeable of your contract parameters upon its completion.

Although individual football players are some of the least marketable of the professional athletes, I.S.A. aggressively pursues endorsements and other commercial opportunities for our clients on a local and national level. We have been able to gain contracts for our players in athletic shoes and apparel, trading cards, product endorsements, personal appearances, autograph signings, radio and television shows and speaking engagements among others. Through our work in securing endorsements and appearances, I.S.A. is able to continuously build your value as a public figure and in turn increase your marketability.

Did you know that the average career expectancy in the NFL is just over 3 seasons? We do, which is why we spend so much time assisting our athletes in preparation for the transition from playing career to post playing career. We begin from day one to prepare you and your family for life after football by: Assisting with degree completion and continuing education; Formulating, along with the client, a post-career business plan; Helping clients secure internships in prospective fields of interest; Assisting clients in job searches and the interview process.

Before choosing your representation make sure you consider not only how well they will prepare you to achieve success on the playing field, but success in life after football as well.
