The legendary Charles C. "Cash and Carry" Pyle, considered by most to be the first sports agent, negotiated a $3,000-per-game contract for Red Grange to play professional football for the Chicago Bears in 1933. Today, salaries in the tens of millions of dollars are commonplace, and instead of theatrical promoters and impresarios, professionally trained businessmen and lawyers dominate the business. Successful sports agents are comfortable with high finance and intense competition for the right to represent talented players, and the most respected agents are those who can deal with the pressures of high-stakes negotiations in an honest fashion. But whereas rules and penalties govern the playing field, there are far fewer restrictions on agents. Incidents of agents manipulating athletes, ranging from investment scams to outright theft of a player's money, are far too commonplace, and there is growing consensus for reform.In The Business of Sports Agents, Kenneth L. Shropshire and Timothy Davis, experts in the fields of sports business and law, examine the history of the sports agent business and the rules and laws developed to regulate the profession. They also consider recommendations for reform, including uniform laws that would apply to all agents, redefining amateurism in college sports (a point Shropshire and Davis suggest may be essential to rooting out corruption), and stiffening requirements for licensing agents.Whether an aspiring sports agent, a lawyer, an athlete seeking an agent, or someone simply interested in understanding the world of sports representation, the reader will find in The Business of Sports Agents the most comprehensive overview of the industry as well as a straightforward analysis of its problems and the proposed solutions.

"TRIPOLAR" is an inspiring journey about a boy who suffers great trauma and severe verbal and physical abuse in his youth. At age 13, he is blamed for causing his father's death, and his life begins on a downward spiral of self destruction. These incidents cause him to lose faith that there is any kind of God in the world. He spends many years going down this dark path into multiple drug addictions and alcoholism, and he later discovers that he also suffers from bipolar disorder. After hitting several bottoms during very turbulent, near fatal years in his 20s; he finally gets tired of digging towards deeper bottoms and surrenders, and begins to accept that he needs to follow the medical advice of his psychiatrists to treat his bipolar disorder - if there is ever going to be any hope of him leading some semblance of a normal life as a functional member of society. On his road to recovery, he embraces 12 step programs and learns to treat his emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical fitness. This spiritual awakening ultimately saves his life, his marriage, his family, and his career as a high school science teacher. Along the way, he discovers that racing in and training for triathlons and ultra endurance races empower him to help manage his hypomania. This transforms him, and becomes an extraordinary outlet for helping him treat his bipolar disorder and channel his addictive personality towards positive change and great accomplishments. He goes on to complete over a dozen Ironman triathlons, one double-ironman triathlon, seven 100-mile endurance runs, and many other ultra races. &#65279;
