Why Seek Representation?A common question Sterling Sport is asked by sport athletes, caregivers and in some cases unions or clubs is ‘why does a rugby player need an outside party to represent them’?

Below are some key points as to why Sterling Sport Management believes players need representation:

l To negotiate and manage a player’s professional rugby contracts. The contracting environment in South-Africa has become complex. Player’s need an expert to provide ad vice and assistance regarding your professional rugby contracts in South-Africa if you are to fully understand the implications of signing a contract.l As well as understanding the contracting environment in South-Africa it is crucial a player’s contractual terms are the best they possibly can be. A player needs a representative that can negotiate them a fair deal. Negotiating skills are very important as is market knowledge and relationships with key employers. In South-Africa’s case these are the Provincial unions, Super 14 franchises and the SARU.l To seek out and provide neutral advice on professional rugby playing opportunities with various employers both in South- Africa and abroad.l To provide the player with knowledge and guidance to ensure they are aware of where they are heading with their rugby career and have a Game Plan with contingency plans built into it.
