Like much of the male population, Jason Atchley considers himself a sports fan. Like a true Texan, he loves football. That’s where the similarities stop. Atchley isn’t like the average sports fan. In 1989, instead of attending the University of Texas and going to watch Longhorn football games as a student from the comfort of a seat in Memorial Stadium, Atchley decided to walk on as a cornerback. Almost 20 years later and Atchley has once again taken his love for the game beyond that of the average fan. Today, instead of watching the games just to see who wins or loses, Atchley is watching to see who could become his next client. He is one of just a few sports agents in Austin. He sat down with CCSR and provided a detailed look at what it’s like to be a sports agent including why and how he get started, what obstacles he has encountered trying to bring on new clients, and why the service he provides as a new agent is as good as those provided by super-agents Drew Rosenhaus or Leigh Steinberg.
