|  | | Athlete Services As a foreign athlete in the former Soviet Union, you should have one thing on your mind: winning. With GSC's support, you can make sure that no distractions will keep you from performing to your potential. It’s no secret that most foreign athletes hate living in Russia. Teams in this part of the world believe that their commitment to players begins and ends with the pay check. Unfortunately, sometimes teams' commitment to players ends even before the player receives his paycheck. Given the language barrier, foreign players and their agents are at a disadvantage if any conflict with management arises.
GSC provides support for players before and during a contract dispute. Sometimes this is as simple as reading Russian contracts before they are signed to make sure they correspond with the English translation, or providing interpreting services so that both sides better understand each other. However, should the problem prove more durable, GSC will be there to let the player know what his options are and what the implications of his actions will be.
GSC understands the complicated legal landscape of Russia and how best to mediate with Russian management. Our experience dealing with the Russian sports world means that we know how to read between the lines to tell you what the management is really saying. We'll try our hardest to ensure that a peaceful solution is found and, if this proves impossible, we'll provide support for as long as the player remains in Russia.
