What We Do
At SPARC, our foremost commitment is to the long term success of our clients. We have structured our organization to handle the various responsibilities of our clients, which allows them to focus proper time and energy on their professional career. These services include, but are not limited to: contract negotiations, financial management, tax preparation, public relations and social media, athletic training and career development. In addition, we stress the importance of continuing education, off-season internships and community service in preparation for the later stages of our client's career.
NFL & NBA DRAFT PREPARATIONWe provide in-depth position evaluation and customized training plans to help our clients prepare for the Scouting Combine and pro-day testing. When we consider on- or off-campus training, SPARC evaluates the needs of each client and determines the best path forward for Draft preparation.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONSProfessional athletes only have a small window of playing time to earn as much money as possible, so it is crucial that we make the most of every contract negotiation. SPARC is committed to negotiating the maximum total and guaranteed compensation while at the same time structuring contracts with minimal negative conditions.
MARKETING & ENDORSEMENTSThere is not a "one size fits all" model when it comes to client marketing and brand development. Our current contacts and expertise allows us the ability to develop marketing plans that will provide our clients with various opportunities to earn significant additional revenue through regional and national marketing and endorsements.

Therefore, we have aligned ourselves with some of the industry's most knowledgeable and competent advisors for wealth management and tax planning to bring the best services to our players.
INSURANCEEvery time an player steps on the football field, they face the risk of a career-ending injury.
