Rafaela Pimenta is one of football's most influential agents, representing some of the biggest names in the game, including Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Gilberto Mora. She joins Damian to reveal what it really takes to protect, develop, and lead elite athletes at the very highest level.

Rafaela explains why players should be treated as people; not assets, how Haaland has built an environment that allows him to perform at his best, and why the modern game is placing unprecedented demands on footballers. She also shares why setting boundaries, championing player welfare, and investing in women's football are essential to the future of the sport.

This is a masterclass in modern leadership, high performance, and the ultimate responsibility of putting people before profit.
