Start here
Make your dream come true. Studying in America is easier than it looks.
Your sport can get you where your grades alone wouldn't. That's how we got to Harvard, without an agency or connections: one of us from Czechia, two from Italy. We'll show you how a coach finds you, what it costs and when to take the test. Send your numbers and in 48 hours you'll know where you stand.
What's waiting for you
You don't have to choose between sport and school.
It isn't extra grind. It's a door.
Sport and school aren't in conflict
At home you pick one at eighteen — either the training session or the lecture. Over there the training is part of the timetable, not the thing you do after it.
A degree that still counts afterwards
The career after rowing is longer than the career in rowing. This is the one part an injury can't take away from you.
The money works backwards
The best schools don't hand it out on performance. They hand it out on family income.
Life at the boathouse
TO ADD — a concrete picture, not a general claim. Who sits in the boat, where they're from, what a morning before training actually looks like.
Myths about America
Sentences we hear over and over.
DRAFT — the answers are cut to one or two sentences from the original texts (the full versions are still in the files). Myths 7 and 8 are my wording. Myth 2: add source and date, aid policy changes.
We weren't stars. We were average.
We row at Harvard — one of us from Czechia, two from Italy. We got there without an agency and without connections. Now we show the way to others, each in our own language.
In America every club coach and every older teammate knows how you get onto a college team. A kid from Boston gets that information at fifteen without asking for it.
The difference between the two of you isn't the erg time. It's that somebody told him.
What we'll do for you
We're not an agency and we won't do it for you. The training, the studying and the contact with the coaches are yours to do.
What we can do is tell you where you stand on both, and what is worth doing now. We've been through it and we know where it breaks.
-
You send us the numbers
Age, sport, result now and a year ago, grades, English, when you want to start. Five minutes.
-
You get one page back
Half about the sport, half about school. Where you are, where it's heading, what you're missing and how long it realistically takes. Written down, so you can show it at home. Within 48 hours.
-
If it makes sense, we get in touch
Not with everyone. If we don't see it, we'll tell you straight — that's an answer too, and it saves you a year.
-
A short free call
If you want, we go through it together. 15 minutes on video, free — ask anything the page didn't answer. Under 18? We need a parent’s consent for the call.
DECIDE — a cap. “I take five audits a week” protects the 48-hour promise and is itself proof that this isn't an agency.
Sport and school. Both at once, not one after the other.
This is the one page from step 2: half about sport, half about school.
Sport
Where you are against the people that programme actually takes. What is realistic in a year. How to turn it into something a coach has a reason to read.
School
What number you come out with, and whether a coach gets through with it. When to start on the test so you don't have to come back to it. Which schools calculate money from family income and which don't.
Not an athlete?
Send us your numbers anyway. The sport half drops out; the school half holds for everyone: grades, the test and the money. Sport is one door, not the only one.
Your coach isn't the obstacle here.
We're not taking you away from him and we're not interfering with training. He just knows as little about the American system as you do — and if he wants, we'll explain it to him too.
Pricing
It starts free.
Everyone starts with a read of their numbers. We only talk money after that — and only if it makes sense.

- We don’t teach the SAT. We tell you when to take it and how many times.
- We guarantee nothing. It can’t be guaranteed — and anyone who claims otherwise is lying.
If the student is under 18, we need a parent’s consent before the call and before any paid service.

Start here
Send your numbers. We'll tell you where it's heading.
Four short steps, five minutes. Within 48 hours we send you one page: where you stand in sport and where you stand in school.
For parents
Would you like to check it out first?
That's fair. We're not an agency and we guarantee you nothing — it cannot be guaranteed, and anyone who claims otherwise is lying. What we can do is tell you within 48 hours whether your child has a real chance. That information saves you a year even when the answer is no.
Frequently asked questions
DRAFT — I picked the questions; the answers are almost word for word sentences already on the page. Rewrite them and add what people really ask.
Are you an agency?
No. We don't write to coaches for you — you’re the one in touch with them, we tell you what and when.
Can you guarantee admission or a scholarship?
No. It can't be guaranteed — and anyone who claims otherwise is lying.
How much does it cost?
The read of your numbers is free, and so is the short call. We only talk money after that — and only if it makes sense.
How fast do you reply?
Within 48 hours you get one page back: half about sport, half about school.
Can you help with a sport other than rowing?
For now it's mainly rowing, because that's what we do ourselves. What we say about school, tests and money holds for every sport.
I don't do a sport. Is this for me?
Yes. Send us your numbers without the sport and you get the school half: grades, the test and the money. That part holds for everyone.
Do you teach the SAT?
No. We tell you when to take it and how many times.
I'm a parent. Can I get in touch myself?
Of course. Before you pay for anything, book 15 minutes with us.
