Option 2:
Written Task: Offseason is good time to call your agent to make sure you both are on same page about your players career and any potential moves or upcoming contract negotiations that could be done during next season(s). Agent could be someone who has been with your player since the beginning, relative or a old friend, or maybe a professional who oversees the finances of 20 or so other SHL players (while siphoning money from them all to buy more cards). They might only be hired for the contract negotiations or they might be just a call away to help your player with any problem they can think of. Who is your player’s agent and what they do (and have done) for your player? If your player doesn't have an agent tell us why they don't. Tom Pedersen, the veteran left winger for the Calgary Dragons, does not have an agent. This decision stems from his unique approach to his hockey career and his desire for greater autonomy in navigating the contract negotiations and career decisions. From the outset of his career, Tom Pedersen has taken a hands-on approach to managing his professional affairs. He prides himself on his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to make well-informed decisions based on his own research and intuition. Instead of relying on an agent to handle his contract negotiations, Tom prefers to negotiate directly with team management, leveraging his strong communication skills and understanding of the industry to secure favorable deals. Furthermore, Tom values the personal relationships he has built with team General Manager and management over the years. By handling negotiations himself, he believes he can foster stronger connections with his employers and maintain a greater degree of transparency and trust throughout the process. And without an agent Tom can also have this Hometown discount since he doesn’t have to pay a sleazy and money grabbing vulture of a so-called financial negotiator. Tom takes a proactive approach to financial planning and investment, ensuring that he is well-prepared for life after hockey. Overall, Tom Pedersen's decision not to have an agent reflects his confidence in his ability to advocate for himself and make informed decisions about his career. While some players may prefer to delegate these responsibilities to an agent, Tom embraces the challenge and opportunity to take control of his own destiny both on and off the ice. And he doesn’t like agents. If you didn’t notice.
