Robert Sovik (FOUNDER – USA SPORT & STUDY)
Robert Sovík leads a company which helps with the academic development of student athletes with the goal of attending top educational institutions. Robert spent his young life as a hockey player, but later realised that he would have to give up playing hockey or postpone college. He found an answer in America, where he studied Economics and played hockey. Later, he worked in the fintech industry in NYC, but realised that his passion was to open the same doors to other students who would not want to compromise. USA Sport & Study was born, followed by CAAN (Czech-American Alumni Network) a company which connects those who have experience of living in both America and Czech Republic. Robert is currently listed in 2019’s Forbes CZ 30 Under 30 and is also working on other exciting projects.
