What’s Your untold story?
agent - /ˈājənt/
noun
a person who acts on behalf of another person or group.
a person or thing that takes an active role or produces a specified effect.
the inner circle of an athlete’s career is an all-consuming world. to achieve your dreams you must live and breathe a passion for your craft with an incredible level of intensity that will require you to lean on your entire team of mentors, coaches, family, and PROFESSIONALS. simply put: it’s not possible to accomplish your goals on your own. That’s where we come in.
“TO HELP, HEAL, and to finish what I started.”
-Rick Montz.
As talent managers, we’ve played a pivotal role in optimizing ATHLETEs' chances for success in various capacities for over 25 years. We push our clients - and our clients push us - to new depths. more often than not, in tennis you lose more than you win, which makes the work that much more vital to execute consistently and without wavering.
those in the industry may know pieces of our history, but That’s not why we’re here. untold exists because we can play but refuse to play dirty. we have watched as far too often players are subjected to standardized metrics aimed at increasing contractual obligations and commitments on and off the court, when the message to players exists on a COUNTER INTUITIVE note which ought to be positioning them for a peace of mind. You can only do your best; you can’t possibly do more than that.
untold, as an agency, does not define perfection, nor does it seek to avoid Failure. Our goal is to embrace our humility and confidence to accept the worst and shoot for the best. we remain personal, small and eager to elevate the ATHLETE at all times, never forgetting that we are all striving to be part of something bigger than ourselves and extend our reach further than what we once thought possible.
what remains to be done is up to you. how much of your journey has yet to be shared with the world and what milestones are still in play? together, we can find out. Together, Your story… and ours will not go untold.
