Elite Squad is a French sports-performance organisation focused on supporting elite athletes beyond their regular club environment. The organisation describes its purpose as “optimizing and securing elite athlete performance beyond the club,” positioning itself as an external performance-support ecosystem rather than as a conventional football club. Its LinkedIn profile categorises the organisation within spectator sports, identifies it as privately held, and lists a company size of 2–10 employees. Elite Squad was developed by Kévin Roberti, a physical and mental performance coach who has worked independently with high-level athletes and professional footballers. According to Le Progrès, Roberti expanded his existing performance-coaching activity with Elite Squad to provide a service aimed at athletes competing at the highest level or those with the potential to reach it. The organisation's model is based on the idea that an athlete's performance is influenced not only by the time spent inside a club but also by what happens outside the club environment. Elite Squad therefore works in coordination with athletes and, where appropriate, their clubs and existing performance staff. Its publicly available material describes support extending beyond conventional training, including physical preparation, recovery, mental preparation, nutrition and other aspects of an athlete's lifestyle and individual performance. The organisation emphasises coordination with the requirements of the athlete's club rather than replacing the club's internal technical or medical structures. Its stated client focus includes professional athletes from both team and individual sports, with publicly available LinkedIn material specifically referring to work with footballers and rugby players. The organisation is associated with Lyon, France. Le Progrès describes Roberti's Elite Squad initiative in the Lyon area, while his professional activity and public communications are connected with the region. Elite Squad's public LinkedIn presence confirms its current corporate identity and provides its official website, while the organisation's public communications use the domain elitesquad.pro and the email address [email protected]
