About Andrew Wiedeman

One of the biggest influences in my life has been the game of soccer. Some of my earliest memories involve a ball at my feet and traveling for youth soccer tournaments. It has long been my passion and has provided life opportunities that I otherwise would not have had. Soccer has allowed me to travel the world, and it has paved the way for a collegiate scholarship at a top university.The greatest gift soccer has given me, however, are the values that I have learned along the way- the ones that guide my daily actions and have become synonymous with who I am. Above all, soccer has taught me the value of hard work, and the practice of setting goals, relentlessly pursing them, and then re-setting the bar even higher upon achievement. The repeated execution of these habits ultimately allowed me to enjoy an eight year professional playing career across MLS, the NASL, and the USL. After retiring in 2017 and returning to UC Berkeley to complete my degree, I decided to embark on my next journey, combining the above values with my other passion- people.As a soccer agent with Wasserman, I focus primarily on identifying and signing the top young talent in North America. I get to help these young men fulfill their dreams and navigate the ups and downs of a career in professional sports. The position of \"agent\" elicits certain practices- sourcing opportunities, creating leverage, and negotiating contracts- all of which are key components of the role. What I enjoy most, however, are the very real and deep connections I get to forge with players. These partnerships span entire careers and beyond, so my primary objective is to leverage my unique background and network to help these players maximize their potential- both on and off the field.
