Here's the system agents DON'T want you to know:

Sept/Oct = 55% of decisions
Jan/Feb = signing time

This timing works for 80% of sponsor companies.But agents keep you IGNORANT.

Knowledge is power.
Timing is everything.
Agents = OPTIONAL

#SponsorshipSecrets #AthleteFirst

The BIGGEST lie agents tell:
"Sponsorship happens year-round."

TRUTH:
55% of ALL deals happen in just September-October.
They spread this lie because...
Seasonal work doesn't justify year-round fees.

Want proof?
Track when your current sponsors actually signed you.
Bet it was fall.

#AthleteFirst

Ever wonder why your agent goes QUIET in July/August?

Only 1-2% of sponsorship decisions happen in summer.

Instead of preparing you for September...
(when 25% of decisions happen)

They let you waste energy on DEAD months.

Why?

Confused athletes pay more fees.
