I was privileged to be part of the Business of a Football Agent course where John Print was our facilitator. John is so good at what he does, I learnt so much from him. I used to think I knew everything about the soccer agency business, but this course went much deeper than books and what I read online. I now feel prepared to step out there and fully get involved in the industry!
