Here is a piece of advice to all writers searching for a literary agent.
In your query letter, give the literary agent you are approaching a compliment. And give that compliment within the first 2 sentences.
I've found that Literary Agents whom I personalized my query to and gave a compliment to ALL responded to me within 7 days.
Even if the agency ultimately rejected my query, I found I received a much faster response from agents I addressed by name and gave a sincere compliment to.
It's worth it to just say something nice to the agent who will read your e-mail. It's a real person you are e-mailing and everyone likes to be complimented.
Also, if you are sending out queries en masse, it doesn't take that much more time to just be kind or say something nice about the literary agent you are approaching.

Summary:
Address your literary agent by name
Pay them a compliment within the first 2 sentences

Result:
They will likely respond quicker to you.

Hope this advice finds you well, and happy publishing.

I think maybe this agent should remove "sports' as a genre he represents.
