CEO & NFL Agent Jim Christiana Offers Unique Mix of Athletic, Legal, & Leadership Experience
Beaver, PA: M:7 Sports — a full-service athlete marketing and management agency based in the Greater Pittsburgh area — has announced that it will now provide athlete representation for NFL players through its CEO and NFLPA-certified agent Jim Christiana.
As a former college athlete at Washington & Jefferson College and Pennsylvania state representative with a law degree from Widener University, Christiana has a unique mix of athletic, legal, and leadership experience that lends itself well to being a top-tier NFLPA agent.
Formed in 1956, the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) is the union for professional football players in the National Football League. Christiana joins a limited network of just 800 agents certified by the NFLPA who serve over 3,000 professional athletes.
“My love for sports is only surpassed by my passion for helping young athletes achieve their dreams,” said Christiana, “and there’s no bigger dream for football players than making it to the NFL. With M:7 Sports, we’ve been committed to serving athletes and their best interests at the high school and collegiate levels, and now we’re bringing our integrated services to the pros.”
NFLPA-certified agents perform a wide variety of tasks on behalf of their clients’ business, legal, and PR interests. They represent players in matters concerning wages, working conditions, and the protection of their rights as professional football players, making sure that the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) are met. They also contribute to maintaining their clients’ reputations while doing all they can to help advance their careers.
“With his experience as an athlete, elected official, and CEO of M:7 Enterprises, Jim has a rare skill set that a lot of other agents can’t offer,” said M:7 Enterprises Senior Partner Jennifer Nolfi. “He understands not only the unique challenges and needs of the modern athlete, but also how to market their personal brand. Most importantly, he truly has the best interests of our athletes at heart and, as a world-class negotiator and problem solver, he’s the type of fighter athletes deserve in their corner.”
Specializing in college recruitment marketing, NIL management, and now NFL player representation, M:7 Sports offers all of the elite services an athlete might need to market themselves, from high-quality photography and video to website development and social media management. Additionally, its athletes have access to the new M:7 Sports Pittsburgh community and its 40,000 sq. ft. indoor Shell Sports Complex located just minutes from the Pittsburgh Airport in Beaver County, PA. M:7 Enterprises also provides ecommerce site design, e-ticketing, and branded merchandise services through its subsidiary M:7 Shop.
