Jan Koukal

Jan won eighteen national championships in squash and founded the sister agency Sportegy while traveling the world for elite tournaments. At the beginning of his career, when he already belonged to the broader world elite, he had the opportunity to study at an American university. At that time, he chose the sporting path due to his position in the world rankings, but all the more motivated to steer young athletes toward education.

Pavel Šnobl

Pavel is a sports enthusiast who has been involved in the taxation of top athletes and artists for the past twenty years. The connection between the world of taxes and sports brings interesting perspectives, which Pavel also sees in the connection between sports talent and education. In Sportegy Futures, he will talk to athletically talented athletes about the possibility of obtaining a scholarship. He will explain the individual steps and our support leading to obtaining a scholarship.

Irena Gillarová

Irena is a two-time NCAA champion in 2015 and 2017, representing Virginia Tech University, a bronze medalist from the 2015 Universiade, a finalist at both the World and European Championships, and a participant in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Czech athlete considers her three and a half years at university to be the best years that athletics has given her. She gained a quality education in incredible conditions, which helped her understand what the professional level means. Her goal is to support young athletes in making a decision that will provide them with not only beautiful athletic experiences, but also a successful career after their athletic life.

track and field

Before leaving for the USA, the athletic environment discouraged me with the words that I would never make it in athletics in America. But I returned from Virginia Tech University with two bachelor's degrees straight into Jan Železný's training group, which has always been my dream. Two years ago, I even flew to the Olympics in Tokyo.

basketball

I didn't dream about America when I was a child, but when I started playing basketball in Kyjov and later transferred to Brno, I started discussing with my parents the possibility of going to the US to study while playing professionally, as it is very difficult to do so in the Czech Republic.

rowing

The advantage of rowing is that it is one of the sports that can help you easily get into an American university. Of course, it is necessary to have excellent academic and athletic results. Currently, individual schools are tightening the admission conditions, for example by lowering the time limits. Nevertheless, even so, the path is easier for our elite rowers, with the guys having a slightly larger competition.

squash

The entire system is set up to perfectly balance studying with high-level sports. Sports are simply a part of university life and studying, so professors respect it. The lectures are adjusted so that every athlete has time for training. During the exam period, there are no training sessions so that athletes can focus solely on their studies.

volleyball

When I saw that my older teammates were leaving after high school to go to America, I thought I'd like to try it too. Thanks to social media, I also saw how they lived, and it looked great. I just wanted to experience it.

swimming

The best thing is that university has brought me a huge general knowledge. The education system in the USA is based on different principles and approaches. So it has greatly improved my practical thinking, so I could effectively solve a problem without getting bogged down in theory.

beach volleyball

For young athletes from the Czech Republic with aspirations to studying abroad, the American university path is the best. No one can predict how long their athletic career will last, so obtaining a scholarship and education is a great preparation for the next stage of life. I highly recommend the university path to anyone, as the experience is great, and the conditions for athletes are even better at many universities compared to several national teams.

volleyball

I would be thrilled to help someone to get accepted to a university in the USA. Furthermore, I want to spark interest in other athletes who may not believe in the university route. It is highly likely that our players can get a scholarship based on their performance or academic achievements without even realizing it. This is a big challenge for me.
