Wendilee Walpole Lassiter (Lee) is the kind of advocate every athlete needs—one who can help you win both in your sport and in your future. A founding managing member of the Ball ‘N Play Sports Agency, and a Registered Florida Athlete Agent, Wendilee specializes in guiding NCAA and high school athletes through the fast-changing world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL).
Lee knows how to make NIL work for you—securing partnerships that elevate your profile, protect your personal brand, and create opportunities that go far beyond your playing days. Her expertise in strategic planning and wealth growth means athletes don’t just sign great deals—they keep and grow their earnings for the long run.
Wendilee’s connection to sports is personal and lifelong. She’s a former personal trainer and high school athlete, a lifelong fan of hockey, football, and basketball, and a former professional sports photographer. She understands the grind, the pressure, and the importance of having someone in your corner who truly gets it.
With Wendilee on your team, you gain more than representation—you gain a mentor, strategist, and tireless supporter who will work to ensure every step of your journey is building toward your ultimate goals.
*Lee passed the September 2025 MLBPA exam and once she signs an MLB player, will be a duly licensed MLB Agent.
