In this week's episode, football agent Luca Hodges-Ramon provides an interesting perspective on the mental health problems that pungent within football, particularly at academy level.
Largely working with young players, Luca is passionate about addressing the gaps in support for those at academy level, and particularly those that are released at the end of their scholarships. Not only does he show the value of the relationship between a player and agent, with contract negotiating existing alongside more practical and emotional support, but calls for football to take a holistic approach to managing its mental health problem. Every voice in the game coming together, from the top down, to set standards and ensure players are being protected.
