You know how to push in Work Mode. We know how to switch you to Sport Mode — and bring you back stronger. Five days on the Atlantic, eight sports, eleven of you and Oleksandr as the twelfth. Ocean’s Twelve.
Every founder we know has the same holiday: a laptop on a sun-lounger, Slack on the phone, and a vague guilt about both. You come back more tired than you left.
Sport works differently. You can’t take a call on a surfboard. You can’t check email in a boxing round. When your body is fully switched on, your head finally switches off.
Sport Mode started as a question: what if a week was designed by a founder, for founders — a real training load, real coaches, and people who understand what you do between sessions, without ever asking you to talk about it?
The first camp is in Ericeira, Portugal, in May 2027. Eleven places. If it works, it becomes a club: camps through the year, in the Alps and on the Atlantic, with the same people coming back.
Day one, after the first dinner: everyone sets their out-of-office together. From that moment you’re in Sport Mode. One login window a day keeps the company alive.
Every session is tracked on Strava in the club. Not to compete with each other — to see your own week in numbers and leave with proof that you did it.
Recovery is part of the programme, not a day off: ocean swims, sauna, mobility, long dinners. You go harder because you also stop properly.
The last day is Race Day: a golf tournament, a final run, and a podium at dinner. Prizes, big stories. Then Cool-down.
40 minutes from Lisbon airport. Atlantic swell every morning, cliffs to run on, padel and tennis courts in town, iconic golf courses in the hills nearby, and a village that knows how to feed you after dark.
“Sport is how I switch.”
I’m Oleksandr. For 15 years I created software, built and led engineering teams, and delivered dozens of projects across Europe and the US — and lived in Work Mode for most of that time.
I surf, box, play tennis and other racket sports, golf, ride and run on this coast. Sport Mode is the week I wish someone had invited me to years ago.
— Oleksandr Lozinskyi, founder of Sport Mode
