TOP REVIEWS FROM BECOMING A SPORTS AGENT
Great sources of information, prominent guests and speakers, high quality learning. Moderately lenient in course load, assignments, quizzes, and peer-reviews.
very interesting modules with nice videos and reading content.
A good introduction into all sports, but i am not sure if it was mentioned anywhere that you need to apply for different licenses with each league to become an agent.
The course was very informative and I learned a lot about representing athletes in several sports. Thank you coursera.
