Sports Agent Salaries

How much money can I make as a sports agent?

In the sports agent business, the saying goes "you get paid when your athlete gets paid". The amount agents make varies with the athletes they sign. Successful sports agents can make over a million dollars per year.

Sports Management Worldwide provides the academic foundation to help those interested in a career as a sports agent. We believe that with some hard work and networking, everyone who takes our courses has the opportunity to see a return on their investment.
