Brand Management

As a professional athlete, the number one priority outside of your playing career, is establishing your marketing brand.

Corporate America is interested in athletes who are not only talented, but are conscientious and driven to make a difference in their community. With this in mind, our services also include helping you set up a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit, Charitable Organization to support those causes that are near and dear to your heart.

With the right image, you can experience endorsement success. Our team of marketing professionals are well versed in acquiring major endorsement deals that can maximize your income earning potential. We will strategically assemble the best mix of national, regional and local campaigns, tailored specifically for you.

Post-Career Management

As your career begins to wind down, LSM will assist you in which ever career path you choose; whether it be returning to school to complete a degree, furthering your education, coaching, sales, non-basketball related, interests or other business opportunities. We are committed to assisting your second career after the ball deflates.
