Athlete Marketing and Image Management
As a professional athlete, you have the unique ability to increase your financial earnings significantly with a positive public image. By using MSM’s effective marketing and image enhancement techniques, our clients secure great personal and financial rewards. Community involvement, charitable contributions of time and money, appearances on television and radio, etc. are just a few of the many ways our clients build their image. Once that image is built, the financial rewards are endless. A positive image enhances our bargaining position with your team, increases our ability to secure regional and national endorsements, and leads to fan-based financially lucrative public appearances. While building your image is important, focusing on your career is paramount! At MSM, we let you, the athlete, focus on baseball while we handle the details.
Investment Practices
At MSM, we know how important it is to your security and the security of your family to make sound financial decisions. Your future and the future of those you care about depend on your good judgment. Our goal at MSM is for you and your family to achieve long term financial stability. To achieve that security and stability, we recommend working with Jon Hayes of US Bank’s Pro Sports Division. Jon and his team currently work with over 200 athletes from the MLB, the NFL, and NBA to the PGA and NASCAR. They have the keen ability to listen to your goals, objectives, and investment preferences and formulate an investment plan specific to you. Through Jon, MSM clients receive direction and guidance in asset management, budgeting, bill payment, estate and financial planning, post-career planning, and private banking. We are committed to making sure your money is working as hard for you off the field as you are on the field!
NCAA Compliance
One of the primary responsibilities of Millennium Sports Management is to protect the interests of the athlete. For this reason, Jonathan also serves as our in-house NCAA Compliance Officer . As Compliance Officer, Jonathan’s job is to make sure that all MSM employees are kept up to date on NCAA rules and regulations. He is also responsible for making sure that these rules and regulations are followed precisely so as not to jeopardize the athlete. MSM will take every step to assure that all dealings between agent and athlete (or athlete’s family) comply with the NCAA. We will not take a chance on harming the eligibility of the individuals we are advising.
