Our Story

Legends Impact Group was built on decades of trusted relationships throughout professional sports, business, and community organizations.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Matt and Melissa Makovec, our company was created with a simple belief: meaningful relationships create meaningful impact.

For more than 20 years, Matt has worked directly with professional athletes and sports legends, managing appearances, community initiatives, special events, and fan experiences.

Many of the athletes, legends, and partners within our network have been friends, colleagues, and trusted connections for more than a decade.

We connect athletes, legends, brands, nonprofits, and organizations through appearances, speaking engagements, partnerships, and experiential opportunities designed to inspire communities and create lasting value.

More than a talent agency, we are relationship builders. We operate like family, treating every athlete, client, and partner with authenticity, trust, and care. Through our relationship-first approach, we create legendary experiences that inspire communities, strengthen organizations, and extend the legacy of athletes far beyond the game.
