EPP bolster their presence in the United States as they continue to partner with Right to Dream following the announcement of their involvement in San Diego’s MLS club

Elite Performance Partners (EPP) – the high-performance firm that supports, builds, and grows high-performing teams in elite sport – headquartered in Bath, UK is excited to be establishing a permanent presence in the United States sports market.

“After ten years of on-going transatlantic collaboration with elite sport and teams in the US market, we’re excited to be in a position to establish our permanent presence in this key market”, said Dave Slemen, EPP’s Founding Partner. “It’s an important step for us as a company to create more opportunities for individuals and organisations to unlock their potential.”

The initial focus for EPP’s permanent US presence will be the West Coast through EPP’s strategic people partnership with Right to Dream, supporting Right to Dream’s growth in the US as they work to establish the 30th Major League Soccer franchise in San Diego. As part of the partnership, EPP will be supporting Right to Dream to:
  • Find, assess, onboard, and transition the people they need to support the San Diego MLS joint venture to continue to redefine ‘excellence’ and meet their strategic objectives.
  • Understand, develop, and strengthen their clubs and group organisations, ensuring they fit Right to Dream’s culture and performance objectives.
  • Support the development of San Diego’s culture and emerging leaders, helping build and embed a purpose-driven culture across Right to Dream.

“EPP is excited to be part of the next phase of Right to Dream’s journey, as well as their partnership with the Sycuan Tribe,” said Anna Edwards, Managing Partner at EPP. “We are committed to Right to Dream’s underlying purpose of challenging the definition of excellence and creating opportunities for young people. We have no doubt that the San Diego MLS club will further help bring Right to Dream’s vision to reality.”

EPP’s expansion builds on its existing presence in the Australian, European and UK elite sport markets, where EPP works with clubs, teams, and governing bodies to identify and onboard talent, understand and develop their organisational structure, and embed a culture of leadership to enable elite performance.

A New Study Reveals: You Must Be Worried If Your Partner Travels To Follow His Football Team Across The Country

A New Study Reveals: You Must Be Worried If Your Partner Travels To Follow His Football Team Across The Country
A new study reveals that, when following their team across the country, UK football fans often enjoy more than just the game itself.

BettingTips4You.com has surveyed 2,200 UK football fans to figure out which fan bases are getting the ‘luckiest’ during game days. The results are very intriguing, as an average of 5.4% of UK fans said that they had had a sexual encounter while visiting a sports venue or stadium.

There must be something in the air in the blue part of Merseyside, as an impressive 15.10% of Everton fans are claiming to have gotten lucky either at Goodison Park or at a sporting venue. In this ’embarrassing’ table, the Liverpool fans (12.26%) came in second place behind the Toffees supporters.

This shows that there must be something in the water in Merseyside that makes it easier to get lucky in places like this. Being active at a stadium facility is one thing; cheating on your partner in such venues is quite another.

BettingTips4you.com wanted to find out which fans are the most unfaithful in
the UK, and they asked how many have cheated on their ‘other half’ when following their football team. The results were shocking.

An average of 15.17% said they cheated on a partner while following their team away from home, with Newcastle fans topping the table with nearly a THIRD saying that they have been unfaithful when travelling to follow the Magpies around the country. Toon supporters are more likely to play away than any others in
the Premier League. Almost one in three said they had cheated on a partner while on the road—compared with 2% of Aston Villa fans.

According to the poll, when looking into the reason for cheating among the different football fans, the most popular response was alcohol intoxication, which was as high as 44.22%.

Second on the list was their team, winning at 21.3%. Having an argument back home just before leaving for a match was not good, as 6.12% of the respondents said they cheated for this reason.

John Pentin, spokesman for BettingTips4You.com, said: ‘Newcastle are having a great season in more ways than one. The club is near the top of the table, and so are its fans—for cheating on partners! At least they are following a well-performing team. Scousers fans are still doing the ‘dirty job’ while watching their team’s disappointments!

Also, make sure you are always on good terms before your partner goes away to support his team and hope that the match will turn out well for his or her team; otherwise, it seems you will be increasing the chances of being cheated.’

Data and Methodology:
In January 2023, 2,200 UK football fans were polled from the Premier League plus two Championship clubs.
