Contract Negotiations

ISA Co-founder & President Brooks Henderson has worked in the professional sports representation business for almost 30 years. ISA Co-founder Don Henderson came from a strong contract negotiation background, having negotiated over $275 million in structural steel contracts in New York City. Through preparation, market awareness and client education, Brooks and Don have over 50 years of combined experience in negotiating NFL contracts for a total value of almost $500 million. While somewhat still new to ISA Football, Brant Richerson brings with him a wealth of legal knowledge and he assists our clients with legal services, contract analysis and negotiations.

Combine Training / Pre Draft Services

ISA talks with NFL general managers and front office personnel for an immediate and detailed understanding of our client’s strengths and weaknesses and how he is graded. We prepare our clients for All-Star Games, the NFL Combine and On-Campus Workouts through specialized training, which includes physical training as well as IQ test and interview preparation. We prepare a detailed calendar for our client from the time of signing with ISA, through the draft, and up until the start of training camp. We coordinate individual workouts for NFL teams, pre-draft team visits, as well as any and all aspects of the pre-draft NFL evaluation process. If necessary we review with our client his college class schedule to assure he stays on track to graduate if he has not already graduated.

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, as well as participation in charitable events and outings. Through our work in securing endorsements and appearances, I.S.A. is able to continuously build our clients value as a public figure and in turn increase their marketability.
