I am very satisfied I enrolled for this course, it was very enriching and covered all the essential aspects of all the major sports leagues as well as all the 4 stages of a professional athlete's career. What I liked the most, was the presentation and interviews from industry experts who have several years of experience in their various fields and helped us understand the inner workings of the sports world.

Good content and easy to follow modules.
However, I feel like the peer reviewing is unnecessary and I had cases where my answers were correct but the person marking my work was not paying attention and marked it wrong which meant I had to submit my assignments again and wait till it was marked.
The peer review projects make it impossible to earn the certificate.
I have enjoyed this course tremendously! I have gotten so many invaluable pieces of information on how the industry works! I enrolled in the course hoping to hear a lot about soccer football (and I did; I got three separate modules on it!), but eventually enjoyed all modules irrespective of particular topics/sports covered in them! The course covered all that there is to cover (financial planning, insurance, negotiations etc.), and even more than I had expected! I do not have any further suggestions for the course. I hope that others will enjoy this as much as I did!
One of the finest courses on Sports Management. Evert single module was amazing, with lot of great interviews. All the interviews were detailed, with specific questions asked and so much insights learnt from the esteemed guests. I recommend this course to anyone who is planning to further their knowledge in the field of Sports Management especially becoming a sports agent.
This is a real benchmark course for someone who wants to be involved in the industry of sport as you can learn from the very best professionals about every single aspect that involve the agent-client relationship. I recommend and I couldn't be happier that I decided to take the course during the outbreak.
Directly, simple and excellent modules and professors! I was really looking for a Sports Agent course online. I found it on this course and I recommend. I would love to take an advanced course on Sports Agent. Thanks for having this course with you Case Western Reserve University!
The Course material is great and is delivered in a very professional manner. It has made me aware of the multiple aspects of an athlete that one has to think of and the various qualities that an agent must possess to be effective and provide the best services to his clientele.
Excellent course for anyone looking to improve your knowledge in the sports industry and learn key concepts to be a sports agent. Highly recognized professionals in the industry as well as professional athletes are invited to deepen the topics. I highly recommend this course!
