Sample Book Insights:
#1 Steinberg had a very successful sports agency, but when his life fell apart, he was forced to declare bankruptcy. Now, he is rebuilding his practice, and is currently representing Mahomes, the Chiefs’ star quarterback.
#2 Steinberg, who was a lawyer, first became friends with Steve Bartkowski, who was a football player and future NFL draft pick. Steinberg was assigned to a dorm housing some of the school’s football players, including Bartkowski, and they became friends. Steinberg eventually became Bartkowski’s agent.
#3 When Bob Woolf started out as a sports agent in the 1960s, teams would not allow agents into their locker rooms. Steinberg had to move back to his parents’ home in Los Angeles and set up a card table in a spare room, where he searched for data points to support his argument that his client deserved a raise.
#4 Steinberg initially figured the Bartkowski contract would be his first and last. He experienced the thrill of representing the NFL’s top draft pick. He flew with Bartkowski to Atlanta for the contract signing. Though they landed past midnight, Steinberg said, There were klieg lights flashing in the sky, like for a movie premier, and a huge crowd pressed up against the police line.
