It can be a challenge to get sports people to think long term about their financial futures. But doing so is important for a number of reasons.

FT Adviser senior reporter Alina Khan speaks to Mark Tueart, managing director at LIFT-Sport, and Conrad Balatoni, associate partner practice at St James’s Place, about why football players are targets for financial misconduct and scams and the role advisers play in helping them make good financial decisions.
