"Coming out of college i had no idea how to handle the bright new and new world of professional distance running. However Ray and everybody at FSM made the transition much easier. With trying to climb up to meet the new level of competition on the professional scene i desperately needed someone that i could trust with the business end of the sportso it was a relief to be able to work with people i trusted who had years of experience working with the best track and field in the world. When I look at where i was in athletics then, where i am now, and where i hope to go in the coming years i am convinced it is going to take a lot of really hard work and daily devaotion to training. One of the factors that we have to deal with as professional athletes is the media, appearances and other business obligations that come being a professional but i have found trying to manage them on my own can be draining and burdensome to training. This is where surrounding myself with the good team at FSM hasnot only helped my career opportunities but also helped me run at a higher level. FSM allows me to spend more of my day doing what has got me to where i am and where i hope to go. I am grateful to have them as part of my team." -- Ryan Hall, 2008 Olympic Trials Marathon Winner, 2008 Olympian and 2:06 Marathoner

"Graduating from college was a busy time of transition that was emotionally challenging and exhausting. Flynn Sports Management is set apart from other agencies in their calm approach, extensive experience, professionalism, and trustworthy guidance. In the first few months of my professional career Flynn Sports helped me navigate very important decisions such as sponsorships, training venues, coaches, travel, races, and more, by providing multiple options and guidance so I could ultimately make the final decision myself. It is important to know someone is 100% in your corner during these decisions and Flynn Sports provided that unquestionable support as well." |
