Hi, I’m Kevin Tarca.
I'm a NBPA and FIBA certified agent, and the Founder of Kreation Talent Agency.
If you're on this page I'm willing to bet you are interested in the sports management industry -- and more specifically the sports agent world. If this is true, and you're hoping to learn more about what agents really do and how to get your own agent certifications, then you're in the right place!
When I first got interested in becoming an agent in 2012, I had NO IDEA where to start.
I was trying to google information and ask everyone I knew, but I was far from learning anything.
In 2015 I took a big leap of faith. I decided to quit my job and give the agent path a shot.
I packed up my car and drove from New Jersey to Los Angeles to knock on doors (figuratively and literally), and attempt to get my foot in the industry any way I could!
After a few bumps in the road, I finally got a chance to intern with a small startup agency.
I was working for free, but getting my first experience in the industry I had been dreaming of!
Fast forward to 2016 and I took advantage of an opportunity that would change my life forever.
I had the chance to get a masters degree from a program overseas run by the Euroleague front office and a University in Italy. There were some risks involved, so this was my second big leap of faith.
During that program I lived out of a suitcase for more than a year. I immersed myself in 20+ new cultures and built a foundation of basketball relationships, most of which still exist today!
Despite the fantastic experience -- I don't want you to think it was all rainbows and butterflies!
I was not being 'wined and dined' on some fancy instagram influencer vacation. I was sleeping in hostels, working out of wifi in office hallways, and on a few different occasions I ran out of money!
