Carfagna's Representing the Professional Athlete

This book is an interactive, hands-on guide to negotiating, drafting, and litigating agreements in the context of representation of professional athletes. The book begins with the negotiation and drafting of a standard-form athlete representation agreement. In so doing, it details all of the National Collegiate Athletic Association amateurism rules and the legal do's and don'ts relating to the recruiting of pre-professional athletes. Subsequent chapters track the typical progression of a successful professional athlete's career: the drafting, negotiating, and (where necessary) litigating of product endorsement and license agreements in the increasingly important context of protecting professional athletes' rights of publicity.
