The management services supplied are wholly dependent upon the client's
needs and requirements. We want you to concentrate on what you are good
at whether that is playing football, playing golf, playing cricket or any form
of professional sport.
We have the expertise to enable you to invest as much or as little of your
time purely in the field of sporting excellence. You may wish us to support
in one or all of the following areas. We take care of contract negotiations,
career development, public relations and media support, image rights and
marketing, vocational planning and lifestyle support and coaching.
Apollo Sports Agents tailor the service they offer based upon full
consultation and jointly agreed objectives treating and respecting all clients
as individuals. Brief details of these services are below; please feel free to
contact us for more information.
Contract Negotiations
In order to negotiate a fair and profitable contract it is critical to know the
value of a client. Apollo Sports Agents do this by benchmarking their client
against other sportsmen in their field using a formula including age,
marketability, experience, playing position, nationality and attitude.
This formula is then put into a highly visual tool called a dashboard which
emphasises to the other party in the negotiation how the contract proposal
was established. This makes negotiating excellent contract terms for the
client realistic, quicker and with less conflict.
Career Development
Apollo Sports Agents strive for long term partnerships with their clients and
therefore support in planning and setting objectives to meet the clients
short, medium and long term goals. We keep up to date player profiles with
performance dashboards so as to enable an immediate response to any
enquiries. We also use the player profiles to market our clients to potential
clubs.
Public Relations and Media Support
Apollo Sports Agents are media trained by the BBC. This enables us to
ensure that clients are positioned favourably in the media and are role
models for their peers and fans. We also identify local community events for
our clients to attend to raise your profile and maximise marketing
opportunities.
Image rights and Marketing
Image rights have in recent years become more and more important. Apollo
Sports Agents will identify the markets in which their clients are best
positioned for income and reputation enhancement and target
endorsements and sponsorship in full consultation with their clients.
Vocational Planning
Sporting careers can be relatively short. Apollo Sports Agents offer
vocational planning for when a sports career is over. This includes
identifying and supporting further education and training. They can also
arrange work placements to establish whether or not a future career in
certain industries would be of interest to the client.
Lifestyle Support and Coaching
For any professional sportsman the more time they can focus purely on what
they do on the football pitch, golf course, boxing ring or tennis court the
better. Apollo Sports Agents offer support in the day to day matters from
arranging a mortgage to remembering important dates such as family
birthdays. As with all of our services this is arranged totally to the client's
requirements.
Apollo Sports Agents act as confidants which enable their clients to make
good, positive and sensible life decisions. This is especially important now
as we live in an age where negative media can have a hugely negative
impact on a client and their livelihood.
Apollo Sports Agents are determined to
remember where it all began and encourage
their clients to do the same. Professional
sportsmen are often criticised for not giving
enough back to the community and grass roots
sports.
Richard Garland, an FA

private industry and media
experience.
