5V Are You Part of an Agency?

Agency:1) a business that provides a particular service
              2)the capacity, condition, or state or acting or of exerting power

               After searching the word “agency” on the internet, the first response was; a business that provides a particular service. After reading that definition I tried thinking about how it related to my major, or if it even did. Being a sports management major can give me the opportunity to represent some of the top agents in the world, and if I were to become an agent then that means I would be a part of the sports agency. What I came to realize is that every major can some relate to an agency.

                During my Sociology class a couple of words came up and I thought they went hand and hand with me becoming a sports agent; they were précising and persuasive. If I want to become an agent for hopefully an NHL player then I need to learn how to be precise in giving specific salary information to them and dealing with their contracts, but I also need to be persuasive so I can get them to agree to do something that can help better them, even if they don’t see it right then and there.
