Prodigy Sports, LLC, a metropolitan New York-based company with 30 years of unparalleled expertise in the professional sports industry, officially opened its doors for business January 1, 2008. Prodigy Sports specializes in providing executive search and placement exclusive to the sports industry. Additionally, the company offers sales, marketing, staffing, ticketing and other consulting services to leagues, teams, agencies, corporations and other sports properties.

Headed by long-time professional sports executive Scott Carmichael, Prodigy Sports is poised to become the industry's preeminent executive search company based on the foundation of hundreds of key relationships with top level executives and organizations within the world of sports.

Prodigy Sports' initial executive placement came recently on behalf of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys. Hired to place new senior-level ticket sales executives, Prodigy Sports directly assisted the Cowboys with the hiring of two of the industry's most respected experts, Chad Estis and Doug Dawson. Since that initial summer, 2007 placement, Prodigy Sports again was retained by the Cowboys for a search for senior level corporate sales executive in the first quarter of 2008, while also working with the NFL's New Orleans Saints and New Orleans VooDoo (AFL) to identify the organization's first Arena Football-specific Director of Corporate Sponsorships and the Arena Football League for recruitment of senior Human Resources executive.

On the consultancy side of its business, Prodigy Sports has been retained by the Arena Football League to assist in a myriad of projects and initiatives including the managing the full ticketing sales and operations function, including the deployment of strategies, allocation and overall distribution for ArenaBowl XXII as well as providing expertise and advice in the area of team business operations.
Additionally, Prodigy Sports has played a key role in securing a number of sponsorship placements within the industry, from Pentax’ MLB initiatives to a recently concluded, fully-integrated program with Country Insurance and Financial Services with a number of teams and universities across the country.

Headquartered in the New York City suburb of Freehold, New Jersey, Prodigy Sports' client roster also includes ANC Sports Enterprises, Dallas Stars, Florida Panthers, Phoenix Coyotes, Tampa Bay Lightning, Country Insurance and Financial Services, FOX Sports Enterprises and Costco Wholesale Stores.

Prodigy's President, Scott Carmichael, has a long history of professional experience on the property side with the National Hockey League as head of the league's Club Marketing department as well as the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee (XXth Summer Olympiad), the team side with the Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers, and on the agency/marketing side of business with ANC Sports Enterprises
