From Pitch to Pit
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. When Rob Edwards took over a struggling Welsh football club during COVID-19, many would have questioned the timing - let alone the location. Six hours away, with no prior experience in football management, Edwards was flying blind. Yet five years on, Haverfordwest County AFC has not only qualified for European competition twice but also built one of the strongest youth programmes in the country. Now, the founder of London based Morley Sports Management, a sports consultancy and investment group that develops and supports professional sports clubs and events, is turning his attention across the Atlantic to breathe new life into Ohio Valley Wrestling, a cult US promotion once home to the likes of John Cena and Brock Lesnar. His mission? To rewrite the rules of modern sports ownership through community values, clear vision, and relentless momentum. "Taking over a football club during a global pandemic. I live six hours away. I couldn't get there, and I'd never had any experience of running a football club…. but I knew instinctively it had potential," Edwards recalls. "I knew I was never going to relocate, so from day one I had to invest in people. If people don't buy into the values, they don't stick around very long. But if they do, you can build something with a clear vision." Building that team has been central to Edwards' approach. "We've built the best off-field team I could have hoped for – people who are passionate and dedicated and who've completely bought into our dream. It's the same now with OVW in Kentucky. It's a long way away again, a lot of passionate people, but it lacked clear direction. The job is to empower people, put them in the right places, and give them credit for what they achieve." Edwards' entrepreneurial journey is marked by pragmatism and steadiness in the face of challenges. When setbacks come, he keeps a steady head. "You need to stay calm and logical. Not everything goes your way – and when it doesn't, the worst thing you can do is get flustered. I tend not to get too up or too down. I've always kept that middle ground. If you walked past me after a major success or a big loss, you probably wouldn't notice a difference. That's always been my demeanour." Financial backing came largely from Edwards' prior career in finance. "There's been minimal outside investment. Most came off the back of my previous business and my career in finance. The barrier to entry for Welsh football isn't huge, it's very accessible – financially and structurally. It gave us the opportunity to step in and try to build something different from the ground up." The same entrepreneurial mindset is driving Edwards' latest venture with OVW. "Because of our experience with Haverfordwest County AFC in Wales, we saw a similar opportunity with OVW in Kentucky. It's an under-appreciated asset in the industry in modern times, but there's massive potential." His advice to aspiring founders? "Have self-confidence and be open-minded. When I took over the football club, I had no background in it, but I trusted my instincts. I used experience, common sense, and values that mattered to me. That's been the foundation. We're trying to build businesses founded on community and social impact. With those fundamentals in place, commercial success will come. You've got to believe in what you stand for. If you stay true to your values inside and outside of business, you can build something meaningful." For Edwards, motivation comes from the thrill of constant innovation. "I need stimulation. I've never been able to sit still. I wake up when the sun comes up and my brain kicks in – I'm raring to go. I'm impulsive. If I get an idea in my head, I'm all in. What keeps me going is being disruptive, pushing things forward, coming up with new ideas and concepts. With both the football club and OVW, we're constantly evolving – and on top of that we've got consultancy work and partnerships with sporting brands. That forward momentum is what wakes me up in the morning. There's always a new problem to solve." Ultimately, Edwards believes success hinges on leadership and trust. "Be confident in your ability – if you're leading a business and people don't buy into you, it won't work. People buy in to people. Investment in people is 100% at the heart of our model. We're not always on the ground, so we need to trust the teams to run with the vision. But we also lead from the front – if you want people to dive into the trenches, you need to be the one starting the charge. I'm quite demanding, but only because I hold myself to that same standard." Rob Edwards is a rare breed of entrepreneur – one who builds across continents and cultures, grounded in community values and driven by relentless momentum. Whether in Wales or Kentucky, his unconventional playbook is quietly reshaping what modern sports ownership can look like.

Queen's champion Alcaraz in the groove ahead of Wimbledon
Carlos Alcaraz warned his Wimbledon rivals that he "feels great" on grass after the world number two defied his own expectations by winning the Queen's Club title for a second time. Alcaraz battled to a bruising 7-5, 6-7 (5/7), 6-2 victory over Czech world number 30 Jiri Lehecka in the final of the Wimbledon warm-up event on Sunday. Advertisement The 22-year-old has extended his career-best winning streak to 18 matches, putting him in the perfect position to defend his Wimbledon title. Alcaraz has won the French Open, the Rome Masters and Queen's during his blistering run. But the five-time Grand Slam champion had arrived in west London concerned about his ability to make the tricky transition from the clay-court season to the unique demands of the brief grass campaign. Underling the difficulty of the task, Alcaraz is the first player to win Roland Garros and Queen's back to back since Rafael Nadal in 2008. "I'm going to say it's really complicated, the switch from clay to grass in just few days, because that's the time I had before the tournament began, just two days of practising," Alcaraz said. Advertisement "So I came here with no expectations at all. I came here with a goal to play two or three matches, try to feel great on grass, and give myself the feedback of what I have to improve. "But I got used to the grass really quick, and I'm really proud about it. My goal was complete, and I'm not talking about lifting the trophy or making the final. "It was just to feel great, to feel really comfortable on grass once again." For a player raised on the clay courts of Spain, Alcaraz has become a formidable force on the lawns of Queen's and Wimbledon. He is only the third Spanish man to win four grass-court tournaments after Nadal and Feliciano Lopez. Advertisement "It's great to be with Rafa and Feli, such great players from our country," he said. "Hopefully now I will not stop here. Hopefully keep going." - 'I had so much hate' - A key part of Alcaraz's winning formula is his ability to switch off from tennis after tournaments to ensure he is refreshed when he returns to the court. The former world number one partied in Ibiza after his epic five-set French Open final triumph against Jannik Sinner earlier this month. He won't have time for a similar holiday before Wimbledon starts on June 30, but he plans to relax as much as possible in London before focusing on his bid for a third successive All England Club crown. Advertisement "A lot of people ask me the same question: Are you going to go back to Ibiza? I wish! As I said, I'm a player who needs days off to enjoy, days for myself to spend with my friends, with my family, just to turn off my mind," he said. "I can't go back home. I'm going to stay here in London, hopefully enjoy it a little bit, then be back and preparing Wimbledon the best way possible." While Sinner crashed out in the Halle second round against Alexander Bublik this week, Alcaraz's success at Queen's moved his record since losing to David Goffin at the Miami Masters in March to a formidable 27-1. Alcaraz believes that defeat was a transformative moment in his season. Advertisement "I had so much hate when I lost in Miami. A lot of people started to say 'What's going on with this guy. He just lost in the first round, and he didn't practice, he didn't go to the court'," Alcaraz said. "I think that was the key, just to have five, six days off, not grabbing a racquet, not stepping on the court. Just go to vacation with my family, to turn off my mind, to think what should I have done better? "I just got the joy back. I started to enjoy playing tennis again, realising what is the most important thing for me." smg/ea
