Leigh Steinberg Athlete Fan Sites
Leigh Steinberg, named the “Greatest Sports Agent in History” by Forbes Magazine, was the first super sports agent. Leigh signed Heisman Award winners Warren Moon and Troy Aikman along with over 60 first-round picks in the NFL draft, including a record eight number one selections. His clients included All Pros, Super Bowl MVPs, as well as MLB and NBA All-Stars. Leigh was the inspiration behind the Oscar Award winning movie “Jerry Maguire” starring Tom Cruise, as well as a consultant on that film, “Any Given Sunday” starring Al Pacino, and “For the Love of the Game” with Kevin Costner. Leigh founded and operates Steinberg Sports and Entertainment, which represents NFL MVP and multiple Super Bowl Champion Patrick Maholmes as well as numerous other household names in sports and entertainment. Leigh Steinberg is also a popular speaker, the owner of the Steinberg Sports Academy, and a best-selling author for his autobiography “The Agent”, with a forward from NFL Hall-of Fame quarterback Warren Moon. Moon writes, “I knew Leigh was something special early on, that his depth of character far exceeded the title later bestowed upon him by the media as the world’s first “superagent.” . . . A believer in human rights and highly conscientious himself, he stressed the value of giving back to one’s own community and how he found it imperative that I, along with the rest of his clients, start charitable foundations. . . He taught me that football was a stepping stone for the rest of my life.”
Leigh Steinberg’s brand had a minimal digital presence. The challenge was to highlight new athlete signings and to help them start their own charitable foundations while maximizing their brand through merchandise sales.
