I’ve always reiterated that athletes should be prioritized before agents. To manage conflicts of interest when representing multiple athletes, agents have to be transparent with all parties and avoid favoring one client over another. You have to set clear boundaries, disclose potential conflicts. You may have to involve independent advisors to ensure fair negotiations for everyone if things escalate beyond control.

Transparencia con los atletas y los clubes. Hemos vivido casos en que un agente no aprueba una operación a menos que se incluya en la misma a otro atleta, pese a que este no haya sido del interés del club en cuestión. Esta falta de ética, que roza el chantaje, es una práctica no extraña en el proceder de bastantes intermediarios de jugadores, lo que expone al club, a los jugadores y a la industria a una depreciación, no solo económica, sino de valores elementales de comportamiento. Con una gestión abierta y sincera, tanto el deporte como sus practicantes profesionales generarán un ambiente de mucha mayor confianza entre todos sus actores.
