Carson Kendall is a FIFA Licensed Agent at BOLT Sports Group, driven by a lifelong passion for sports and a deep understanding of the athlete’s journey. He graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a degree in Business Marketing, where he also was a part of the university’s men’s soccer team, a top-25 ranked Division I program.

Carson’s unique blend of expertise gives BOLT clients a distinct advantage. With a Business Marketing degree and 16 years of soccer experience, he possesses an intimate knowledge of the game. His sharp eye for talent, developed through extensive scouting and data analysis, is complemented by strong industry relationships built over the years. His marketing background further strengthens his ability to strategically communicate and negotiate, ensuring soccer talent is showcased to the world effectively.

Since joining BOLT in June 2024, Carson has played a pivotal role in securing a range of new clients, including first-team MLS players, top USLC talent, senior national team players and standout college athletes. Carson particularly enjoyed the opportunity to help college players transition to the professional level. “The most rewarding moment since I started with BOLT was watching Ian Smith’s name called in the first round of the MLS draft,” he recalls. “I was a small part of all his hard work and dedication, but witnessing someone as deserving as Ian see his dream come true of signing a first time contract was truly special.”

For Carson, helping players achieve their goals isn’t just a career – it’s a mission. “I always knew my path after playing was to guide others in the soccer world,” he shares. “Witnessing the journey to the top firsthand, I understand what teams seek. My ultimate goal is to be the catalyst that propels players to their highest potential.
