International Notes (February 2025)

My new monthly column includes videos and exclusive reports. 🗒️⚾

After countless hours of work, the first month of the new international period is almost over. I remember that on January 15th, I made around 150 posts across my social media, primarily on X (formerly Twitter). In the days that followed, and up until the end of January, I continued to provide updates on the latest signings by each organization.

Before embarking on this new monthly section of International Notes, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the countless messages of praise and appreciation I’ve received for my work. Words fail me when I think of the tremendous impact my Top 35 list and the team signings tracker on our website have had, with so many reaching out—fans and industry professionals alike. It was this outpouring of support that provided me with the necessary breath of life to press on.

I must admit, halfway through 2024, I experienced a personal setback as a reporter, to the point where I even questioned whether I should change careers. Yet, after enduring those challenging months, I held steadfast in my decade-long journey and granted myself the opportunity to rise again.

In International Notes, I will strive to keep you informed on the progress of international signings each month. My goal is to ensure this section or column reaches you in the last week of every month, covering new talents, recent signings, future deals or pre-agreements, and each organization's budgets.

Feel free to leave any questions in our chat or send them via private message, and if possible, we will address them in our section. Without further delay, let's get started:
