Grand Central Sports Management poised to impact pro football and baseball representation
Today, the formation of Grand Central Sports Management was announced, bringing a new player into the game of full-service sports management that is poised to raise the bar for professional sports representation and services. The company formation follows recent acquisitions of sports management companies, including Ascend Athletics, representing NFL players, coaches, and front office personnel; and North Star Sports Management, representing professional baseball players and coaches at all levels of competition.

Operating as subsidiaries of Grand Central Sports, Ascend Athletics is being led by Lindsay Crook, Randy Fisher, and Pat VanHall, who will be serving NFL clients, while North Star Sports Management is being led by Senior Director of Baseball Operations, Dave Eiland, a former professional baseball player and coach, and Tony Giordano, the Lead Agent, as they serve MLB clients.
“As a part of Grand Central Sports, we’re bringing MLB players comprehensive services that stand the test of time throughout their playing careers and beyond,” said Dave Eiland.
“We are taking our A game to sports management for players, coaches, and front office personnel, and are already seeing a multiplier effect as a group with Grand Central Sports,” said Lindsay Crook.
Grand Central Sports will deliver expertise in contract negotiations, talent management, professional training, celebrity endorsements, and transitioning and positioning clients after their professional sports careers into the game of life. Currently, Grand Central Sports companies have under management players representing both the NFL and the MLB.
