Orlando, Fla. – September 26, 2013 – Leigh Steinberg, sports business expert, author and speaker, recently joined noted business development expert, Brian Tracy, and a select group of the world’s leading business professionals to co-write the book titled, Change Agents: The World’s Leading Experts Reveal Their Secrets for Successfully Changing the Status Quo to Help Their Clients Lead Better Lives and Run Better Businesses. The book was released on September 19, 2013 by CelebrityPress™ – a leading business book publisher.

CelebrityPress™ describes the book: “Descriptively known as Agents of Change, the Celebrity Experts® in Change Agents seek to make new inroads into the fields of expertise they represent. They have attained success by changing both themselves and the world around them to some degree. Never afraid of change, however difficult, they know that they will never enjoy the sweet taste of success only doing what everyone else does.” Leigh Steinberg contributed a chapter titled “TRANSFORMATIONAL WORK: Becoming Change Agents Through Our Professional Lives.”

On the day of release, Change Agents reached best-seller status in seven Amazon.com categories – reaching as high as #2 in the “Direct Marketing” and “Marketing for Small Business” categories.  The book also reached best-seller status in the following categories: “Sales and Selling,” “Marketing,” “Entrepreneurship,” “Marketing and Sales,” and “Small Business and Entrepreneurship.”

Leigh Steinberg, the world’s first “super agent,” founded his sports law practice in 1975 when he negotiated a then-record contract for the first overall pick in the NFL draft Steve Bartkowski. Since then, Leigh has solidified his name as one of the premiere player representatives in all of sports, and specifically the NFL where he represented a record eight different number-one NFL draft picks, over 60 first round draft picks, and consistently negotiated record-breaking contracts. His past clients include NFL stars and hall of famers Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Warren Moon, Drew Bledsoe, Ben Roethlisberger, Thurman Thomas, Eric Dickerson, Derrick Thomas, Edgerrin James, Jevon Kearse, and Bruce Smith, boxing legends Lennox Lewis and Oscar De La Hoya, and a plethora of NBA, MLB, and Olympic athletes. In all, Leigh has negotiated over a billion dollars in NFL contracts, and over two billion dollars in athlete contract and endorsement deals.

After such a successful release, Leigh Steinberg will be recognized by The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™, an organization that honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.
