Evaluation: Player-to-Executive Pathway Scheme Pilot

The purpose of this report is to communicate findings from an evaluation of the Premier League Player-to-Executive Pathway Scheme (PEPS) pilot and offer a series of accompanying recommendations which may be considered in future programme development work. The aim of the report is to capture the perceptions and experiences of those involved in PEPS, providing a compelling narrative that points to some of the most salient features of the development programme and how they contributed to specific desirable or undesirable outcomes. The intent throughout is to support the Premier League in making sense of the complexity inherent in PEPS (as it is in all development programmes!) and provide a strong steer on where to direct attention, ambition, and resources in the future.
