Great Athletes Have Great Teams—Let’s Build Yours
Behind every high-performing athlete is a top-notch support team. KMB Advising helps you assemble, evaluate, and coordinate the right mix of professionals—agent, lawyer, financial advisor, trainer, and more—so your off-field affairs are as strong as your on-field game. With our athlete team guidance, you stay in control and supported, every step of your career.
Structure, Clarity, and Trusted Advisors—All in One Place
- Support Team Building
Guidance on selecting reputable agents, managers, CPAs, trainers, publicists, and more. We help you vet credentials and contracts, and choose partners who fit your needs and values. - Coordination & Communication
We act as a neutral orchestrator—defining each team member’s role, setting boundaries, and facilitating regular “team meetings” so everyone is aligned with your goals. - Contract & Agreement Review
Legal review of agent and advisor contracts—ensuring fair terms, accountability, and no hidden pitfalls. - Unbiased Oversight
Unlike agents or managers, we have no stake in commissions—our advice is objective and always in your best interest. - Conflict Resolution & Mediation
Navigating family roles, advisor disagreements, or miscommunication—so your team works together, not at odds.
Built for Every Stage of Your Athletic Career
Your support team should evolve as your career evolves. Whether you’re entering the draft, signing your first pro contract, navigating free agency, expanding into endorsements, or preparing for retirement, we help reassess and refine your advisory circle at every stage. As income, visibility, and responsibilities grow, your team structure must grow with it. We ensure your off-field strategy keeps pace with your on-field success—so your career roadmap stays intentional, not reactive.
Protecting You From Costly Mistakes and Conflicts
A talented athlete can still lose control of their career without the right safeguards in place. We help you identify red flags, clarify compensation structures, review fee arrangements, and ensure transparency across your entire advisory team. From unclear contracts to overlapping responsibilities or undisclosed incentives, we help prevent the small issues that can turn into major setbacks. Our role is to protect your interests, preserve relationships, and ensure every professional on your team is accountable and aligned with your long-term success.
