My dad was in the radio business when I was growing up.He'd get tickets to a lot of different sporting events，and in 1984 we went to Madison Square Garden during Michael Jordan's rookie sea- son（新秀賽季）.My dad took me to see Jordan put on a show.
I remember looking at my dad as an eight - year - old kid and saying， "I want to be Michael Jordan one day." Dad laughed a bit and then turned to me and said，"Son，I love you，but you' re probably not going to be Michael Jordan. "Then my dad pointed to the man standing next to Jordan at the time，his agent David Falk.My dad explained how Falk worked closely with players，and since then that's all I've ever wanted to do.
Years passed and I became a sports agent.My job is simply to help professional players find jobs.No two days are the same，which I find exciting.If it's in-season，I'm talking to players about how they are feeling and how they're performing from week to week.During the off-season，I try to make sure players' lives are managed，so they can focus on（專注于）improving on the field.Not everyone can be a sports star，but it's more than possible to work on the business side of sports.I always tell the students I meet to go out of their way to introduce themselves to people.Relationships are so important in this business，and they can take you a long way.
