About Us

In November of 1988, Bobby Jones, NBA All-Star and NBA Champion, walked into Robert Walker’s office and expressed a need for help. Mr. Jones had recently retired from his 12-year playing career. He needed someone to help him with his business matters and all of his requests for speaking, appearances, and other sports marketing opportunities. Robert chose to help Bobby. Mr. Jones was very pleased with the first deal that Robert negotiated. He began to tell others about Robert and his talents.

During 1988-1994 the business grew, with many athletes coming to Robert for representation. Mr. Jones and Robert grew close over the years, coaching basketball and working together at a school; winning two state championships in the process. Robert was also an athletic director for the school. In 1994, Robert left the school to launch into a full-time business; where sports are what we do everyday.

Because of Robert’s background in coaching, administration, education, and business, Robert is able to develop close relationships with athletes. He understands them better than most and also understands coaches and what they are going through. The business continued to grow into a full service sports management and marketing firm. The company has negotiated thousands of contracts and been a part of bringing new products and inventions to the market. What makes US Sports unique is the marketing mix they bring to a negotiating table. Because Robert has 20 years experience negotiating on behalf of others he has taught people within the firm how to maximize their potential too. When you contract with US Sports you get Robert and all his experience and business savvy but more than that you get a staff that is willing to help you grow as a person, not just an athlete.

US Sports also works closely with athletes once their career is over. One time a running back our firm represented got to the point in his career in which he realized that football would no longer work out. We helped him along to his second career which took him into NASCAR. He is on the Red Bull Pit Crew and doing very well (2008 Champions). As you can see, even though football was over for him, we were not done helping our client. We want our clients to grow and stretch themselves to be the best. One thing that has been said about US Sports is that they are willing to risk being fired in order to tell a client the right thing to do. So many times in this business, agents will tell their clients what they want to hear instead of helping their client see the big picture and analyze the situation. Most just want to please their clients without fear of upsetting them. At US Sports we are willing to make an investment in your life so your personal investment will be there long after you retire. Our motto in our company is FAITH - Focused, Attentive, Integrity, Trust, and Honor. This is what we do everyday for you, our client. So when you think about US Sports, YOU are US Sports, not us. It’s all about you, the client. US SPORTS = YOU!
