SERVICES OFFERED

CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS

In the extensive journey in business and sport, John has negotiated thousands of contracts over the years. However, this is just a small part of the work he does with players. He works closely with his players and their parents in the early stages of their careers to ensure they get the very best preparation for their career ahead. Only by this involvement does he get to know each player’s unique situation and can work to achieve the best outcome for them.

John’s extensive and unblemished years as a successful businessman has taught him to be totally transparent in all negotiations. He ensures full details are disclosed to all parties, including the positive and adverse aspects of all deals presented.

The years of delicate negotiating resulting in great outcomes is just one expertise John is well known for. However, this can only be achieved by players trusting him to have their very best interests at heart, especially during stressful periods in a player’s life and his track record in this regard is second to none.

MEDIA

Players have learned the hard way that media, and especially social media, can crush a sporting career overnight. Players are all given the very best advice into how to deal with situations to avoid the pitfalls that so many before them have fallen into.

We engage experienced international public speakers to coach our players on the little things that help immensely when interviewed live by the media and presenting at events they are asked to present at. The number one fear for many is public speaking. Players are no different, we know that the faster we make a player comfortable in front of a camera or microphone, the faster they are going to grow as a person. If a player needs additional help we will provide additional professional coaching as it is essential in 2017 that all players are comfortable talking to media and we will assist the players we manage in any way we can.

We hold sessions on appropriate conduct when engaging on social media and media events. The impact on not fully understanding the implications of a tweet done in the heat of the moment are spelled out to all players. The benefits of using social media to a player’s advantage are also spelled out and emphasised as the only way to use social media. The quality of work we do in these areas cannot be underestimated and could save a player’s career.

SPONSORSHIP & MARKETING

After 30 years in business, John is well connected in the business world to negotiate opportunities to players. All players are keen to enhance their earnings away from the game, be it by media appearances, promotional endorsements, publishing etc.

We work hard to find opportunities for players and John is quick to bring his negotiating skills to the work to get the best outcome possible for players.

FINANCIAL PLANNING & TAX ADVICE

There is a long history of players not managing their money well when making big dollars during their career. John is totally committed to ensuring at all players he manages are given professional and expert advice at the earliest possible time.

John has long standing relationships with legal, financial advisor, accounting, banking and tax experts. His significant business interests have also forged relationships with numerous suppliers in a wide range of industries that he is happy for his players to benefit from also.

The player’s life after the game is just as important to John and his team than just their playing days. This focus on the long-term health, not only physical but financial health, is paramount as a player is a long time in retirement. The planning for this is critical to ensure that this time is stress free for them and their family.

SPORTS & MARKETING MANAGEMENT

Our goal is to manage players to an elite level both on and off the field. To assist in ensuring their affairs in estate, financial & tax planning, investment counselling, contract negotiations along with speaking engagements, charitable & personal appearances are in order while they excel in their professional sport.

We insist that ongoing education and an after playing career is extremely important for each athlete. Our company will be encouraging all those we manage to pursue a business management degree or even an apprenticeship in building or plumbing to secure life after the game years are over.
