About the Author

I am Frank A. Urefe. Sports has taken me to most places that I never dreamed I would go to. I started playing competitive sports at the age of 19, but without sufficient facilities in place to develop my skills and talents. It has been through hard work, belief in my own abilities and never quitting that I went all the way from Africa to North America on an athletic scholarship and to Europe, Asia and Central America on a sports contract. I never could have traveled to these places or gone to college without using my athletic abilities. Now, I want you to have this opportunity too! And I want to show you how to do it successfully. It will be much easier for you to follow my footsteps to avoid costly mistakes.

In my book, The Power to Succeed in Sports, Fitness and Life, I shared my experiences:

I understand what it means and how it feels to get dropped from a team without any warning and get traded from one team to another.

I know how it feels when others don’t believe in you as much as you believe in yourself.

I understand how it feels to desire to want to win a championship, yet it doesn’t quite happen because you were down by few points and all you can do is look at your teammates, coaches and managers, trying to find out what went wrong. I know how tiring it can be when you are trying to lose weight or stay in shape in preparation for the next playing season.

I have experienced how it feels for an athlete to be wrongfully accused.

As a sports entrepreneur, I understand challenges that come from running a sports business.

I made some good money in professional sports, but it wasn’t enough to make me rich. When you are young, lack experience and don’t have a mentor, many things can go wrong. Today, I am over 38 years old, a Sports Agent Advisor, consultant, entrepreneur, writer, author and Athlete USA Scout. I have experienced failures in my life, and I understand what it takes to succeed and what it means to be successful.

When you are tired of sports politics, unsure of what is going to happen next and fear of the unknown, you begin to search for something more meaningful and you start planning towards retirement. While professional sports can bring fame, wealth and riches, it never lasts forever. Sustaining injuries and encountering legal issues can shorten your active sport life and snuff out your sport dreams. Personal relationships can be a distraction. For example:

  • Being sued for child support, going through separation or divorce can distract you from performing well in competitions.
  • Wrongfully accused and going through legal proceedings for an offense you didn’t commit can make you lose focus on your sport career.
  • Chasing money when you should be focused on your education and developing your skills and talents can take you off track from your purpose.
  • Losing college eligibility without understanding the NCAA, NAIA, or CIS rules and going to play professional sports too early has its consequences.

In professional sports, incidents such as injuries, separation, divorce, and law suit can occur in both your business and personal life when you least expect them to happen. These incidents can also be caused by the choices and personal decisions you have made in your life. My hope is that you take what I share with you in my book and apply them into your life. You should be able to have a rewarding college career and eventually sign a sports contract if you follow my advice. Your talents and skills can get you there, but it is your attitude, passion, network and those that surround you that will determine if you are going to succeed or not.
