WELCOME TO WIESEL SPORTS

"Expectation and execution. No Excuses, No Explanations." -Tony Dungy

I have spent the last eighteen years gaining the knowledge and experience I feel is necessary to truly represent the best interests of my clients. Wiesel Sports results from exceptionally hard work and sacrifice, dedication to a profession I love, my deep passion for the lives and careers of the women who trust me, and my overriding dedication and commitment to doing and seeing excellence in my own life and lives of those who matter most to me. Wiesel Sports would not be possible without the never-ending love and support of my family, the guidance, friendship and partnership of hundreds of people, businesses and teams throughout the world, and the confidence, friendship and trust of the athletes I am honored to call my clients.

My path to advocating on behalf of athletes began in 1996 when I was introduced to NBA and WNBA players being abused/neglected by their agents. I was shocked at what I saw and heard about how athletes were mistreated. I couldn't believe that one human being looked at another as solely a product to be sold and taken advantaged of. Already searching for how I could best use my personal and professional skills and goals, I immediately knew I had found my professional calling.

After graduating with a degree in Social Work I attended law school part-time at night so I could work for the California Court of Appeal and the Sacramento County Public Defender's and District Attorney's offices. I passed the California State Bar Examination and immediately began practicing as a litigating attorney. As a lawyer I developed a deep interest in analyzing/negotiating contracts, and advocating on behalf of clients with the most complex legal issues. I conducted jury/court trials and advocated before the California Court of Appeal, Federal Court of Appeals and California Supreme Court. I feel it is critical for an agent to be an experienced attorney - to understand contract language, legal authority, advocacy and principles of enforcement.

As an agent, I have represented over 200 athletes drafted in American professional sports leagues. This includes over 50 first round selections. I have negotiated over 900 professional sports contracts in over 30 countries with over 200 different professional sports teams. I have also negotiated over 150 marketing and/or speaking engagement contracts with 50 companies. I have worked on behalf of WNBA, NBA and NFL starters, WNBA, NBA, NWBL and NFL drafted rookies, undrafted rookies and free agents, WNBA All-Stars and Rookies of the Year, Olympians/National team members, College, NFL and WNBA Coaches, and first round selections in four American professional sports leagues. I created Wiesel Sports as an independent entity devoted to the representation of athletes in America and overseas. Wiesel Sports is focused, selective, driven and dedicated to excellence. With integrity and honesty, I devote my time and energy to personally representing a very limited amount of clients - I don't have an assistant and my clients know that I am personally and fully accountable for their careers and well-being at all times. I am a tireless, devoted and forceful advocate. I commit whatever time and energy is necessary to empower my clients with choices and opportunities. I provide vision, energy and passion and maintain, at all times, a level of service and professionalism worthy of my clients trust and confidence. I am available for my clients whenever and wherever they need me. I want to be the best AND represent the same spectacular athletes committed to impacting the world around them. An athlete has one shot at a career they worked an entire lifetime to experience - I am aggressive, forceful, committed and refuse to accept failure.

I am very different - as a man, attorney and agent. I am simple and straight-forward. What you see is what you get. I don't give false hopes and don't tell my clients only the things they want to hear. My clients mean the world to me, and I refuse to compromise who I or they are. I have learned over the years what type of person/athlete I can share a career and life-long relationship with. This type of relationship is critical because an athlete's professional sports career is a business, and they must look at themselves as a business owner. As the head of their business, an athlete's first employee will be their agent Here are the 10 characteristics I feel are critical for the agent-client relationship to become and remain as healthy and successful as possible:

-Direct Communication
-Respect Common
-Goals/Hard Work-Ethics and Morality
-Commitment
-Trust
-Professionalism
-Dedication
-Passion for Excellence

An athlete needs to determine who can be counted on to devote the time and energy necessary to make the athlete's life and business as successful as possible - someone focused on and devoted enough to the athlete to ensure a consumer (team, potential endorser, fans, etc.) will hire the athlete and utilize their business instead of another player's/competitor's. An athlete must remember who their competition is and separates from them - an athlete deserve someone who does not and will not represent another athlete that will directly compete with them. While being an agent is a business, it is also a profession that requires selflessness. An athlete must determine who will be there for THEM - through the good times and the bad.

When I commit, I do so with all of me. To be the most successful, I want and need a client who will do and give the same. Thank you for reviewing our website and considering me as a potential agent. If you feel I have described who you are or what you want in an agent-athlete relationship I am eager to meet and/or speak with you and/or anyone important in your life. I send my best.
