Transitioning from Military Precision to Sports Agency with Damian Knight

Like that's kind of the attitude you'll get. And the reason that I'm looking for those great people is because, for example, a guy like Swayze Bozeman, right, who played college football for seven years, right, two years in junior college, five years of Southern Mississippi, had some injuries along the way.

such a great guy and a high work ethic that we knew once he gets his foot in the door, they're not letting him go. Like we, we just knew that. And the thing is like when I went to the AFC championship game and I'm down on the field and I was meeting the linebackers coaches and defensive coordinators, they're like Swayze Bozeman. That is one of the best people I've ever met, you know?

And that's what I want to hear. Right. He's obviously in the room for a reason still. Right. But he's one of those people when there's an optional linebackers meeting, he may be the only person who shows up. And that goes a long way.

And if you're one of those guys with an ego or a chip on your shoulder and you don't show up to that, like you said, people will notice when you don't show up just as much as they'll notice you do show up, you know, and sometimes even more, they'll be like, man. he didn't show up to this meeting today. You could have been there 29 days out of 30 of the month and you missed that one day.

And everybody in the office is going to talk about the one day you didn't show up. Absolutely. So that's what we look for, man. And a lot of the times everything else follows after that, right? You find this person who's a great person and someone who is receptive to criticism and I just keep it real with these guys. I'm a lot different than most agents. I'm a little bit younger.

I just keep it 100% real with them. When they tell me, man, I'm the best, I'm the fastest, I'm the strongest, I'm like, maybe at your college, but not in the NFL. You're going to be one of the slowest if you don't get it together. Hey, if you want to be the best, you need to get off the video game and you need to get in the books. I just keep it real with these guys.

They get caught off guard because a lot of agents, I say we, because I've caught myself almost doing this, is you want to be a people pleaser. You want to be like, oh man, you're the best. You can do it, blah, blah, blah. But I don't think that does anybody a benefit.
