I get this request almost daily:“Sean, can you connect me with an agent?” Or this which really gets my blood boiling: “Do you know any teams looking for a player like me and if so, can you let me know?”
And my answer is always the same: No.
Here’s why…
First, I don’t know 99% of the players who reach out. I haven’t seen you play in person. I don’t know your work ethic. I don’t know your personality. And if I blindly recommend someone, my credibility with agents and teams disappears. Once you burn trust in this business, it’s gone. I have many contacts, but I do not mix business with friendships.
Second, I stay in my lane. I’m not an agent. I’m not here to push players to teams. My role with SJM Consulting is about education — giving you the tools, strategies, and mindset so you can represent yourself properly and build real opportunities. That’s why I’ve created Plans of Action, resume corrections, highlight tape reviews, and my Rookie Integration Masterclass. These are the building blocks you need to stand out to agents and teams.
Finally, let’s be honest. You don’t want your career depending on someone else making a call for you. You want to know how to do it yourself, with confidence. That’s the only sustainable path. If you are waiting for a handout, you gonna be waiting for a long time!
So no, I won’t pick up the phone to call an agent or a team for you. But I will show you how YOU can do it the right way. And that’s worth a lot more in the long run.
