Is Personal Safety and Issue for Professional Athletes?

Featured Articles

By Dick Wilson

Should professional athletes be concern for their personal safety and that of their families? A couple years after the tragic death of Washington Redskin’s player, Sean Taylor. This Cleveland Plain Dealer did interviews with several athletes who discuss their concerns, vulnerabilities and their protective strategies.

Career Advice, Hucky Austin

By Hucky Austin

I normally don’t post testimonials, but after having a very challenging week this was just what I needed. Robert, thank you for the kind note.

Mr. Austin, I just wanted to send you a message thanking you for several things, actually. First, it was you that pointed me in the direction of Icon, which after over 2yrs of searching, turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Second, your advice both on your website and at the course are already proving to be invaluable. I am hoping that both pay off in the very near future. And finally, thank you for being there for people like me who are trying to break into the field. It is refreshing to actually meet someone who is not just in it for themselves. You truly care about this industry and those who want to be in it and it shows in all that you do for us. I hope you still have the card that I gave you and will use it if/when you get down to the Houston area. I’m sure you know that Texas hospitality knows no bounds and I know that all three Texan Alum from this last course would be more than happy to extend to you, anytime. Again, thank you for all that you have done and are doing for the EP world.
