About
Guiding you with experience
After spending many years growing up and playing professional football in South Australia we understand the challenges a young AFL player faces. Moving interstate and living away from home, negotiating playing contracts, managing key relationships, ensuring you keep yourself fit and healthy in both body and mind and considering what happens in life after footy, are just a few of the key considerations.
Choosing the right Manager is critical to ensure that all of these needs are considered and met, and with a focus on achieving the best outcome for the player versus, whether they fit into the crowded roster of larger agencies.
With strong connections in the AFL community and business world, we’re well positioned to open many doors to ensure the opportunity our athletes are presented with now, is leveraged so they are set up for life, something many agencies can’t offer.

Our Team
Trevor Clisby
After a successful career playing 279 games in the SANFL, winning two premierships and then becoming a founding member of the Adelaide Crows, Trevor transitioned from footy into the business world having a successful corporate career for more than 30 years. This experience provided him the opportunity to combine his passion for footy with a thorough knowledge of the corporate environment to create Strategyone Sports Management, offering a unique and client first management approach.
The average career of an AFL player is about 6 years so choosing the right manager who is focussed on the athlete and their family is a big decision, knowing that Manager will help with making the right choices during and after footy is critical. At Strategyone Sports Management we guide, mentor and help you to make the right choices.
