Gerard Piqué

Pique earns my respect twice over. As a centre-back he was the thinking man's defender, reading the game two passes ahead and collecting 37 trophies along the way, which puts him among the most decorated players in history. But what truly interests me is his second act. Founding the Kings League and reinventing how younger audiences consume football takes the same anticipation he showed on the pitch, applied to business. Few athletes transition from playing the game to redesigning it entirely. He strikes me as someone who was never just a footballer, but an entrepreneur who happened to defend brilliantly for Barcelona.
