Robin Blakeley

President, Pursuant Sports

For over 30 years, Robin Blakeley has been a tremendous force in the sports industry.

In 1984, Robin founded Talent Sports International, one of the leading sports management and marketing firms in the southwest. As President and CEO for the next ten years, he served over 50 professional athletes including Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Mookie Blaylock, Rolando Blackman, Herschel Walker, Will Perdue, Oliver Miller and Spud Webb.

He has also operated as Southwest President of Host Communications, the world’s largest collegiate sports marketing firm, and he is co-founder of The Heart of a Champion Foundation, an organization dedicated to character development in young athletes.  For years, Robin served as the International Tour Director of the Volvo Grand Prix tennis circuit, and Tour Manager for the Association of Tennis Professionals.

He is a sought out corporate consultant and motivational speaker, and board member of City Square, Dallas 2020, Practice Ministries and Letters from a Soldiers Heart.  His heart for the sports industry pales in comparison to Robin’s greatest passion—being a father. He and his wife Katie have four boys, Ryan, Chase, Christopher and Jon Cole.
