Patrick Whitesell founded Win Sports Group, a new independent football representative company that serves athletes, coaches and leaders.
Whitesell, formerly WME and Endeavor Holdings, is co-CEO and Executive Chairman and founder and CEO of a new operating and investment platform powered by Silver Lake, which supports Silver Lake, which invests in media, entertainment and sports. This is part of an overall deal that has allowed key stakeholder Silver Lake to privately own private efforts recently.
“As football’s global reach, business value and cultural significance continue to expand, Victory Sports Group will support clients on the court and in the field. Today’s top talent focuses on contracts and opportunities directly related to the game, as well as building a platform for careers, businesses and influence to surpass the impact on the field. With an elite representative and experienced team in a long-term strategic plan, winning efforts have provided clients with an effort to put the business in a termination business and continuing a business and gaining a career that has finally become a brand, effectively creating business and winning business opportunities and effectively.
The new company is the former football division of WME Sports and is the same senior team.
“There has never been a big time to help football players think and act like their masters,” Whitsell said. “The ambitious music, film and digital culture we’ve seen are now playing a role in sports. Victory is to help athletes drive this transition and create lasting value.”
The company pointed out that the NFL is the most valuable independent sports league, with some of the most valuable teams in the world, and now its business spans over 20 international markets and grows. Last year, three-quarters of the 100 most watched TV broadcasts in the United States were NFL games, including the entire top ten. Last year, the alliance's income distribution grew by nearly 9%, and wage caps are expected to continue to grow.
Similarly, college football accelerates through major media trades, re-adjust and expands player opportunities.
In this context, the WIN program combines elite representation with strategic support for brand, business, media and long-term career development to “evaluate business venture capital and build a platform that goes beyond the game. Performance and potential weight are the same when it comes to victory, performance and potential, ensuring supporters of the moment and supporting what’s next.”
