Two agencies. One mission. 🏀🏈

Elite Sports Empowerment is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Stealth Sports Group.

Together, we're building a complete path for athletes: high school recruiting, college NIL and revenue share, and professional careers in basketball and football.

ESE leads basketball representation and contract negotiation. Stealth Sports leads football representation, NIL strategy and athlete development. Our athletes and their families get the best of both.

Two organizations committed to athlete advocacy, financial literacy and long-term success.

Thank you to the Nashville Vibe for the invitation to attend the announcement of new head coach Yolanda Moore. 🏀

Congratulations, Coach Moore. Nashville is ready, and I'm looking forward to an exciting first season.

The Vibe has done a tremendous job in the community, and the excitement and buzz around this team have only grown since the new name was announced. This city is showing up.

It was great to see Fiskites in the building, and a pleasure to see Vanderbilt University alum Marsha Price, who is the mother of several collegiate athletes, with one being our former standout Fisk University gymnast Morgan Price. 💙💛 We show up for Nashville!

🏆 CHAMPIONS. 🏆

Janay Sanders and her teammates just made HISTORY as the 1st EVER Upshot League Champions — taking down the Jacksonville Waves in a game that came down to the WIRE. 😤🔥

We were courtside in Jacksonville, FL watching every possession, every timeout, every gut-check moment... and they showed exactly why their team was built for this stage. Poise under pressure. Heart when it mattered most.

This is what happens when talent meets work ethic. Congratulations Champ and to the entire Charlotte Crown's team— this is only the beginning. 👑🏀

Day trip to Charlotte, NC to support Coach Huff at his annual Coaches Clinic and quick trip to arena to support our client Janay Sanders as her team the Charlotte Crown extended their win streak to 9 straight. Electric atmosphere at Bojangles Coliseum, great conversations courtside, and a reminder of why this business never gets old.

9-0 and building something special. Proud to be part of the journey.
