Interview With The Agent: Ed Wasielewski (Esquire “The Agent”) Edition - Sports Agent Blog (registration) (blog)
Ed Wasielewski became a licensed sports agent in 2003 after graduating Villanova University and Temple University School of Law. His passion for sports from a young age followed him to college where he earned an internship working with the NHL team the Hartford Whalers. While Wasielewski interned with many sports teams, he also gained experience working with athletes by getting them workouts and placed with teams. He cultivated a passion for the business side of the sports world and used his expertise and education to start his own sports management company. Currently representing 24 NFL players, Wasielewski’s legal background allows him to advise and insure his players’ best interest in areas such as contract negotiations and business ventures. D’Bria: If you could give the 18 year old Ed advice about being successful in the industry, what would it be. Ed: I would tell him to write down short-term and long-term goals. That didn’t happen (or hasn’t happened yet), but my passion for sports and helping others turned into a career as an NFL agent where I’ve worked with some of the best people and athletes in the business. Even if people don’t share my vision, that’s okay, I can take ownership in my vision and work to get results. Source: sportsagentblog.com
