Welcome to SprotsAgent, the Python-based sports agent script that's so good, it might just replace real sports agents (just kidding, we love you, sports agents). This script acts as a virtual sports agent, automating tasks related to player management, contract negotiation, performance tracking, and communication via email and text messaging. It's also a social butterfly, networking on LinkedIn and issuing media comments. The goal? To streamline and automate various tasks typically performed by a sports agent, and to do it with a bit of Pythonic flair.
- Python: Because who doesn't love a snake named after a comedy group?
- Flask or Django: Because we like our web frameworks like we like our coffee - full-bodied and with a kick.
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: The holy trinity of frontend development.
- SQLite or PostgreSQL: Because data needs a home too.
- Email integration using SMTP libraries (e.g., smtplib): Because carrier pigeons are so last millennium.
- Text messaging integration using SMS gateway providers (e.g., Twilio): Because who has time for phone calls?
- LinkedIn integration using the LinkedIn API and Python libraries (e.g., python-linkedin): Because networking is not just for computers.
- Store and manage player profiles, including personal details, team affiliations, and performance history. It's like a Rolodex, but better.
- Add, update, and delete player information. Because change is the only constant.
- Retrieve player information based on various criteria (e.g., name, sport, team). It's like Google, but for your players.
- Generate contract templates for different sports and contract types. Because one size doesn't fit all.
- Customize contract terms (e.g., salary, contract duration) based on player and team requirements. Because negotiation is an art.
- Calculate contract-related metrics, such as salary cap impact and contract value. Because math is hard.
- Track and store player performance data, including statistics, game logs, and achievements. Because numbers don't lie.
- Analyze and visualize performance data to assess player progress and identify trends. Because a picture is worth a thousand words.
- Integration with email services to send and receive emails related to player contracts, negotiations, and general communication. Because communication is key.
- Integration with SMS services to send text messages to players, teams, or other stakeholders. Because sometimes, you just need to send a text.
- Integration with the LinkedIn API to facilitate networking and communication with relevant industry professionals. Because it's not what you know, it's who you know.
- Retrieve and update player profiles on LinkedIn. Because keeping up appearances is important.
- Send messages and establish connections with other LinkedIn users. Because sliding into DMs isn't just for Instagram.
We're on the lookout for contributors who can help us improve and expand this project. If you're a developer with a sense of humor, a sports enthusiast who can code, or just someone who wants to help out, we'd love to have you on board. Together, we can make a difference and help to stop wannabe power broker middlemen (you know who you are).
