Sports managers are hired by organizations and individual athletes. A sports agent also does not focus on negotiating contracts for their clients unlike a sports agent.

Since the competition for jobs in this field are so fierce, having a graduate degree in business administration, sports management or sports medicine will provide a considerable asset. Internships are also looked upon favorably. Non-educational requirements that one must have in order to become a sports manager include strong verbal and written communication skills, a thorough understanding of business and legal contracts, knowledge of league rules, and interpersonal skills.
