Dan Burgers answered all questions and concerns my family and I had about the Draft. His guidance made my entire Junior year leading up to the Draft completely stress free, which allowed me to focus on simply playing baseball! He also worked tirelessly to provide me with all the information I needed to make a well informed, thought out decision as to whether to sign a professional contract or not. After signing a professional contract, Dan and Jonathon immediately made sure I had everything I needed equipment wise on the field. Also, any questions or concerns I have had since signing he has taken care of, making the transition to professional baseball an easy one. While Dan has done an outstanding job for me as my advisor and now my agent, I think the separator for me with Dan Burgers and the rest of SPS is the personal investment they make in each of their clients. Dan has taken to time to develop a strong personal relationship with me and gotten to know who I am as a person, not just an athlete. Every time I have spoken to Dan, I have truly felt like I am his only client. Dan has been nothing but enthusiastic about the advancement of my career and I would strongly recommend SPS to any aspiring professional athlete. |

I have had the pleasure of having Dan Burgers as my agent for three years now. Dan has gone above and beyond the call of duty. Not only does he always makes sure that I have everything I need when it comes to being on the field, but he also does what he can to make sure that my time off the field is as comfortable as possible as well.
Dan is professional in the work that he does. He never hesitates to ask if something can be done and is always great at doing things that I have asked him to do on my behalf. Besides having a strong professional relationship, he and I have also created a strong personal relationship as well. I have all the trust in the world in Dan because of the relationship that we have built. Also, from speaking with Dan about other client’s, I know that creating a strong partnership with all of his clients is very important. I feel that I am very lucky to have Dan as my agent and I look forward to building on the already strong partnership that we already have. |

It has been our pleasure and privilege to know Dan Burgers these past few years as he has mentored our son, Doug, through the baseball minor league system and into the Majors this spring. Dan's knowledge of sports and the business of professional athletics are impressive. Tracy and Jan Mathis |

I have had the pleasure of working with Dan Burgers and Jason Rosas since prior to the 2007 draft. In the spring of 2007, I underwent Tommy John surgery to repair the torn ligament in my elbow and they were nothing but supportive. After being undrafted in 2007, Dan and Jason kept scouts informed of my progress the following year and got them to come to my games the day I started pitching again. Exposure proved to be very important for my future as I was drafted despite only throwing 11 innings prior to draft day. Throughout the process, I was able to focus on my rehabilitation and recovery without having to worry about the draft. After going through the draft process twice, I am extremely happy to have chosen Sports Pro Services. |

I have been with Dan Burgers and Sports Pro Services for almost two years. I decided to go with them because I felt uncomfortable with the draft process and wanted someone whom I could trust. Since I joined, they have done an excellent job of keeping me informed of all pertinent information. Going into the draft, they helped take the pressure off me and let me focus on baseball. After the draft, they have exceeded my expectations with the handling of contracts.
Following my signing, my agents have made sure that I received all the gear necessary to equip me for competition. I highly recommend Dan Burgers and Sports Pro Services. I can truly say that without them, I would have been lost in this process. |

The relationship between me and Dan started just a little over a year ago when I was in need of new representation. I had been with a big agency for a few years, and like baseball felt like I as getting buried. I got in contact with Dan mid season last year and talked about signing on with him and his team. At that time in my career I needed someone that was going be there for me when he was called upon.

I have been using the services of Dan Burgers and Sports Pro Services since the fall of 2005 and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. The months leading up to the MLB Draft can be a stressful and overwhelming time for a player. Dan eased the pressure by effectively communicating with scouts and other team officials, so all I had to worry about was playing baseball. He kept me well informed so I knew what to expect leading up to draft day. I can't imagine having gone through the draft process without the help of SPS. Since the draft, Dan has provided me with all the necessary equipment to perform on the field and has showed no signs of curbing his enthusiasm for the advancement of my career. I know I can call anytime, with any question, and receive immediate assistance. Dan truly makes you feel like you are his only client. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SPS to any of my former or fellow teammates. |

I decided to go with Dan and Jason prior to the 2007 draft. They really made me feel comfortable and they provided me with all of the information that I needed. They treated me with respect and also made me feel very important. The draft can be a stressful thing, but Dan and Jason really helped me with the process. After the draft they took care of everything. They provided me with top-notch equipment and were able to help me with any situation that came up. There is no doubt that Dan and Jason have done nothing but facilitate the transition to professional baseball. I would definitely recommend Sports Pro Services to any aspiring professional athlete. |

Dan made the transition from College to Pro Ball easy and painless. From the very beginning Dan prepared me for the expected and the unexpected as an advisor during the 2004 draft and as an agent during the 2005 draft. Without his guidance, I don't think I would have been able to put together a successful first year campaign to lay the groundwork for a successful career in Professional Baseball for years to come. Dan allows you to focus on the task at hand while he takes care of the intangibles. |

To Whom It May Concern, As the parent of a young man who was drafted by Major League Baseball both as a college junior and senior, I can easily write with confidence and sincerity regarding Dan Burgers and Sports Pro Services. Unexpectedly drafted as a junior, we were caught unprepared regarding the details and pressures of the draft process. A flurry of phone calls from those seeking to represent him made life hectic for three days. Dan came on the scene through a recommendation from another college parent. His approach to settling us down was immediate and without “strings” or reservations. His knowledge and concern for our position was polite, patient, and proved to be genuinely solid advice. At the end of the summer, there was no signing…..a decision confidently made with Dan's input. It was from the beginning of senior year to the 2005 MLB draft that we really got to know what an advisor (agent) really does. Throughout this period, Dan was always accessible, willing to listen, attentive to our concerns, and knowledgeable about “our” approach to being drafted. Once again his expertise, candor, resolve, planning and follow through approach got us the results we expected. While Sports Pro Services may not be as high profile as other agencies, anyone contracting his services will surely find he is versatile and most competent to negotiate a contract tailored to fit your needs. As a satisfied parent, I can truly say “use him with confidence”. Tony Wlodarczyk |

I decided to go with Dan Burgers and Sports Pro Services early on in the draft process of my senior year and it proved to be a good decision for me. Dan proved to be very knowledgeable about the entire process and answered any questions that I had while handling all the issues that came up, so that I could mainly focus on baseball and not get caught up in the draft. All the time I felt assured that Dan and Jason were on top of things and keeping me informed of what was going on. They both called enough to see how I was doing and to let me know what was transpiring, but did not inform me too much as to stress me out about the draft. After the draft, Dan took care of all my needs on and off the field, such as providing me with all of the equipment that I would need and by taking care of all the off the field matters that would prepare me for professional baseball. I feel that Dan really cares that I have everything that I need and is also very professional, but also takes the time to get to know me while still always calling to see how I am doing and making sure I have everything. I am very pleased so far to be working with Dan, Jason, and Sports Pro Services, and would recommend them to any aspiring professional athlete. |

I have had the great pleasure of working with Dan and Jason for the last year. At the start of my senior year Jason contacted me, and at first I was a little skeptical about having an agent due to experiences that I have dealt with in the past from other agencies. But I will say that Dan and Jason go beyond what defines a good and reliable sports agent. The months leading up to the MLB Draft can be a very stressful time for potential draftees and I will say that they really had their facts straight when they talked about teams and what they were thinking about me before the draft. They were always quick to answer my phone calls and tell me what was going on with the draft and what teams were thinking about me. I feel that without Dan and Jason on my side, I would not have had the year that I did leading up to the draft. They really took the stress off of my shoulders and just allowed me to go out there and play the game. I could not imagine what it would have been like had I not gone through the draft process with Sports Pro Services. Now that I am a professional baseball player, I have really seen the great effects of having a sports agent. Dan and Jason are always quick to meet my every need that I have with equipment and also I can see that these men really care about the advancement of my career and my life as a professional athlete. I would highly recommend the services of Dan and Jason to any serious athlete who wants the best possible treatment and who also really knows and understands the business and player development side of professional sports. |
