𝗦𝗲𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗷𝗻 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀' 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿? 🌟 Sem Steijn’s journey showcases the power of perseverance and the right opportunities in shaping a player’s career. Starting his journey at VVV-Venlo, Steijn initially found himself below the team average in terms of Player Level. However, his move to ADO Den Haag marked the beginning of a steady rise, showing how opportunities at a more suitable level can foster growth.📈 Taking a look at Steijn’s career development - 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 - we can analyse his Player Level growth compared to the Average Club Level of his former teams. The most dramatic development came during his time at FC Twente. Not only did he bridge the gap to meet the team average, but he has now surpassed it by 296 Player Level points. This significant gap highlights his transformation into one of the standout players in the squad! At just 23 years old, Steijn’s trajectory suggests that he is on the cusp of something greater, currently being the Eredivisie top scorer, scoring 15 goals from the number 10 position. His consistent improvement begs the question: Is he ready to take on a new challenge at a club that matches his Player Level and ambitions? 💭 What do you think? Could this be the time for Steijn to test himself on an even bigger stage? Share your thoughts below! ⬇️ #FCTwente #Eredivisie #SamSteijn #Football #FootballAnalysis #FootballData

Yesterday it was 'Prinsjesdag' in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 , which means that the official plans of the new government for the next years has been presented. Living in the Netherlands it's always interesting to hear these new plans. Some things you will like and some things you won't. This year there's something specifically that we from Peak Potential definitely don't like.. ❌ The government is planning on increasing the VAT on sports. This means an increase from 9% to 21% on for example: - Swimming lessons - Sport subscriptions (gyms, cycling, pilates, etc) - Entrance tickets to sports competitions We're definitely also not happy with the increase for entrance tickets to sports competitions, but that's still 'ok' in our opinion. Our main frustration 😡 is with the increase in cost for people performing sports themselves. We really can't wrap our heads around this. In the last 40 years the amount of people with Obesitas in the Netherlands has tripled... TRIPLED. More and more people are overweight. The increase from 9% to 21% means that an average gym subscription will increase with €5+ per month. A lot of people simply can't afford this. We believe there are so many other alternatives on how to gain this amount of money. 💰 We can go on and on about this topic, but we're mainly interested in your opinion. What do you think of these new plans for sports in the Netherlands?

Hasn’t the Olympics been exciting! Well done to all our medal winners in rugby sevens, men’s triathlon, sailing and especially rowing! And there’s more action to come. Now, while it might not be the same as a gold medal, our industry has also had some great wins and BAU (aka business as usual) continues at pace. Last Tuesday was a historic day for our organisation with the Board formally adopting a new constitution and governance structure. The new constitution introduces a single national membership structure, supported by regional branches and sector groups. This replaces the current system, built around four separately governed regional associations with one focused on sector advocacy and delivering member priorities. Transporting New Zealand’s national membership will now directly elect board members and sector group representatives at national elections – the first of which will occur in Napier on 4 October 4. The governance changes will help ensure that our organisation remains effective, relevant, and fit for purpose, and also ensure that we comply with the Incorporated Societies Act. In long awaited news, Transport Minister Simeon Brown announced The Land Transport (Drug Driving) Amendment Bill will be sent to the Transport and Infrastructure Select Committee for consideration after its first reading. The push for roadside drug testing legislation came from the Road Transport Forum, our previous incarnation, years before I joined. This news is welcome and it is a credit to many of the leaders we’ve had before that some of these things are finally coming to fruition. Anything that makes the roads safer is excellent for truckies and all road users. It’s vital that police have a system to get drugged drivers off our roads. It’s also a timely reminder that there are some important issues to watch out for with the new testing regime, in particular, managing the risks related to legal and prescription drug use which may trigger positive test results.

The padel parachute appears to have deflated for Triton, the investment house that bought Sweden's We Are Padel group and went on to open hundreds of courts across Europe through its LeDap creation. It's reported that the organisation is moving away from the consumer market and back to its core activities. What this means (if anything) for operations in the UK is unclear; its centres in Derby and Bristol are busy and Derby has the added advantage of solid match day bar takings when The Rams play (we understand thirsty football fans pay the rent). The Swedish padel market developed very differently to the UK (and most other countries), booming off the back of Covid and growing somewhat unfettered. Little chance of that here with planning regs and the paucity of suitable sites. #padel #padelnews #padelinvestors #growingpadel #ledap #padelinvestment #wearepadel #padelcourts https://lnkd.in/ek54vsZ8
