Illegal Procedure

Illegal Procedure - Josh Luchs, Recovering Sports Agent and Author (YALA) (The Jewish Federation) Josh Luchs began his career as a sports agent at the tender age of 19. Young, driven and smart, he had already begun successfully forging the connections needed for a career in sports marketing. In his mid-20s, Luchs lost both his parents within months of each. The balance between dealing with personal tragedy and catering to the superficial needs of young athletes forced Josh to re-evaluate his life and career decisions.

Jerry Maguire comparisons notwithstanding, Luchs gave a candid interview to Sports Illustrated last year. He not only exposed the questionable relationships between sports agents and college football players, but also showed the world how he struggled with many difficult decisions to achieve his goals. That was the cover story which led to his one-on-one interview with Bernard Goldberg on HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. Throughout his career, he faced many ethical dilemmas and gained invaluable life lessons from these experiences. Now, he is taking time out to share his perspective. Joshs new book, Illegal Procedure, hits the stores on March 27th.
