Soccer Agents


To everyone out there looking to advance there soccer career, beware of the frauds out there. There are wolfs in sheep´s clothing out there so protect yourself and do your home work. Through my research and found several sites that facilitate the process of finding an agent or a school. I have not found much success from those websites. I am not saying that they do not work, I mean anythings worth a try. What I am saying is do your home work before you engage in any transactions or specific information sharing, i.e. account info, negotiations, verbal commitments, etc. I personally did not have a bad experience, but a close friend of mine experienced a similar situation. The agent promised tryouts and accommodations, and financial support. Long story short it was some sort of fraudulent check operation. Once again I must stress that I am not saying that these sites are not helpful in reference to networking. Just make sure you do your homework before engaging in any activity. There are many things that you can do to help yourself when looking for an agent or helping an agent find you.
