“To me, being an agent is a long-term relationship business. We are there for our athletes throughout the years, even after their career is done.”

— Jack Mills,
Capital sports advisor, American football agent

“We look at different aspects when we scout a talent. We work with different scouts for different sports. We then do a stats check and background study on the player and go chat with him/her when we realise there are certain qualities in the player which will help us to build a profile around the player. We want to have a long-term relationship with the player.”
