Vint joined USOC in 2005 where he served for four-years as their senior sports technologist, working with several sports, including Nordic combined, cycling, swimming, bobsleigh and skeleton, on a variety of sport performance projects.

He was promoted to the role of high performance director of the organisation in 2009, responsible for high performance planning, monitoring and service integration for swimming, athletics, shooting, equestrian, and weightlifting.

Those sports went on to win 64 Olympics medals at London 2012.

In his position, Vint also provided guidance to coaches in skill acquisition, feedback and practice design.

Since London 2012, Vint served at USOC’s senior director of competitive analysis, research and innovation but is now due to take up his new position at Everton, who are based in Liverpool,  tomorrow. 

“The reputation of Everton Football Club and its academy is world-renowned and I am really excited about beginning my work at the club,” Vint said.

“I have been impressed with members of the Club’s excellent staff and the environment the club has created for the young footballers under our care.

“What has been most compelling to me, however, and ultimately has led to my decision to join the club, is Everton’s genuine willingness to challenge the status quo and challenge ourselves as individuals to be even better.

“In the world of high performance sport, this is often said but rarely done.”

Everton are one of England's best-known clubs. 

Formed in 1878, Everton were founding members of The Football League in 1888 and has competed in the top division of English football for a record 112 seasons.

They have won a number of major honours, including the League Championship nine times and the FA Cup five times.

Everton, however, have not won a major trophy since 1995. 

The best-known player produced by Everton's academy is Wayne Rooney, who left the club in 2004 to join Premier League rivals Manchester United for a then record transfer fee of £25.6 million ($37.8 million/€34.8 million)

He has since gone onto become England's record international goalscorer. 

Everton manager Roberto Martinez claimed the appointment is a progressive one for British football and will help to develop the skills of both their academy players and staff.

“It’s really exciting to have secured a person with the experience of Peter, someone who has always had a meticulous focus on all aspects of performance, someone who we believe will make a big contribution to our entire Academy system and someone who will improve the performance of our programme even more,” the Spaniard said.

“What Peter will bring is the extra, invaluable element of performance to allow our young players and staff to become as good as they can be in their jobs.”
