Your Virtual Sports Agent
With the help of a 30 year veteran NFL agent, you'll learn how to market yourself to professional football teams and - drafted or not - land an opportunity during the NFL offseason.
Whether you started with Pop Warner Pee Wee or YMCA flag football, chances are you've spent a huge portion of your life on the football field.
You know how it feels when your eyes get bleary from watching hours of film, or the satisfaction you feel after grinding out those few extra reps in the weight room. You know what it means to leave it all on the field under the Friday night lights in pursuit of a scholarship. You've accomplished what few athletes are able to - playing college football.
Now you're craving that opportunity to play at the next level.
You've done everything you can to get this far. All you need now is some knowledge and wisdom from someone who knows how to navigate the unfamiliar terrain of transitioning from football as an activity to football as a career, football as a job, football as a source of income.
I'm Jill McBride Baxter, an NFLPA Certified Contract Advisor since 1988, and I'm here to help.
Are you ready? Because I am. Let's do this!
Who is Jill McBride Baxter?
Jill is a sports law attorney who has represented coaches, athletic directors, media, and NFL players since 1988. She's a licensed attorney in Maryland, Arizona and Utah. A recently published author of "Born to Be a Sports Agent," she also hosts a podcast called "Representation Without Taxation" and serves as the CEO of Academic Gameplan. She's the wife and daughter of Division I football coaches and the mother of two adult daughters.
And now she's offering a one of a kind opportunity to work with you as Your Virtual Sports Agent.
Does this sound like you?
- You've reached out to dozens of agents seeking representation but still haven't found someone to sign with
- You want to play in the NFL but don't know how to get yourself in front of the right people (maybe you don't even know who the 'right people' are!)
- You don't have any personal connections to NFL teams or know how to get a hold of any key decision makers on the inside
- You're not sure how to identify which teams are the best fit for you
- You want to know what your windows of opportunity are between January and September as NFL teams put together their rosters
- You wouldn't know where to begin when it comes to figuring out how much of a signing bonus or salary you could expect to receive
- You're nervous about representing yourself without the guidance of a seasoned sports law professional
As Your Virtual Sports Agent, I'm here to guide you through all of these scenarios.
Wondering what you'll get from Your Virtual Sports Agent?
Here's the gameplan:
- Get tips on how to prepare for the NFL Draft, from training to nutrition to talking with your college coach
- Access all the technology and resources you need to start communicating with teams, and a clear explanation of what information teams are looking for
- Get a list of contact information for key decision makers at all 32 NFL teams - no more @'ing team accounts on social media! - plus the trick to obtaining additional contact information
- Learn how to make the most at your Pro Day or a local workout
- Learn how to pursue an opportunity with a team if you go undrafted
- Understand the critical information you need to know once you've made a team - including how to handle injuries
- Have a plan for what to do if you get cut, or what to do if you're offered a second contract
And that's just within the video library! You'll also benefit from:
- An experienced sports attorney who is not only just one text message away as you work through the process, but who will also review a contract with you before you sign with a team
- Lifetime access to the online video and information library, including any new information that gets added to the course - for example, last fall I created an entire bonus section just about getting into the XFL
- Coming soon: A members-only Facebook community for regular updates and new information
Now the final question: what does it cost?
Just $249.95, paid in five monthly installments of $49.99.
I know what you might be thinking...
"It's too expensive"
An NFL agent can charge as much as a 3% fee for representation. It's hard to visualize how much money that is, I know. The average NFL base salary in 2020 is $660,000. With a 3% agent fee, that means you could be paying an agent $19,800 this year alone. Your Virtual Sports Agent costs just $249.95, and I've made it even more affordable by accepting monthly payments of $49.95.
"I don't have the experience or knowledge I need to do this on my own"
After 30 years in the business, I know this process like the back of my hand. I break down things down in careful detail, step by step, with videos and text and links and downloadable attachments. If you find yourself confused or uncertain at any point in the process, I am just a text or phone call away from offering clarity and advice.
"I want someone to do the work for me"
At this point, agents are looking ahead to the 2021 NFL Draft and the current junior and senior prospects. It will be a challenge to find an agent interested in signing an undrafted free agent. If you feel like you've run out of options, you owe it to yourself to invest in Your Virtual Sports Agent and feel confident that you're doing all that you can to make your dream of playing professional football a reality.
I want to see you succeed
That's why I got into this business and why I've stayed in it for so long - because nothing satisfies me more than being an advocate and trusted advisor for professionals in sports. I created Your Virtual Sports Agent to assist as many people as possible in pursuing their dream of making it to the next level - including you.
