The problem

You run in Work Mode. All year.

Holidays with a laptop. Sport squeezed between calls. You come back more tired than you left.

Sport Mode is a week designed to flip the switch: a real training load, real coaches, and eleven people who run companies too — and never ask you to talk about it.

Eight ways to switch

Eight sports.
One week.

Surf
Tennis
Padel

Oleksandr Lozinskyi, founder of Sport Mode
Your host

“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

FAQ

Questions leaders ask.

I’ve never surfed, played padel or held a golf club. Is that OK?

Yes. Most participants are beginners in at least one sport. Coaching is in small groups by level.

How fit do I need to be?

If you train a couple of times a week and can swim 200 m, you’re fine. Every session has an easier option, and opting out is always OK.

Can I work during the camp?

Every day has a login window, so nothing breaks while you’re away. The rest of the day, you’re in Sport Mode.

I’m coming alone. Is that normal?

Almost everyone does. That’s the point.

Can I come with my co-founder?

Yes, and it’s one of the best reasons to come. Ask about the co-founder rate.

What does it cost?

Places are confirmed after a short call. We’ll share pricing and terms on the call.
