EXPERIENCE MATTERS- 30 YEARS IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS!
The sports industry is a complicated business to navigate. With the interest in professional sports at an all time high, as well as the easy access to social media, there are many self proclaimed sports industry "experts" and influencers who have amassed a lot of followers. However being a social media influencer or "self proclaimed" expert is different than working with someone with real life, practical, "hands on experience"! This is what counts the most when navigating the highly competitive sports industry. Agency founder Mark Washo has over 30 + years of "in the trenches" sports experience from minor leagues to professional leagues, into amatuer sports, college athletics and emerging sports, Mark has experienced it all. You can tap into this knowledge base to fast track and maximize YOUR potential in this industry!
