“I hope that PLUS can be the support-system that I wish had been there for me when I was an aspiring student-athlete”
I’m the co-founder of PLUS Scholarships, a Warsaw-born player who climbed through four tiers of Polish football before graduating from the American School of Warsaw. Navigating the U.S. recruiting system on my own, I secured multiple opportunities to play at the NCAA Division III level and ultimately attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am pursuing a degree in computer science. During my years in the United States, I trained and trialed with NCAA programs, earned invitations to preseason camps with elite developmental sides in leagues such as USL League Two, and competed for top-level club teams. These experiences gave me a close-up understanding of American soccer that I am passionate about bringing to PLUS.

“I founded this agency to ensure that no one else has to face the challenges I experienced.”
Alongside Maks, I am the co-founder of PLUS Scholarships. I am a South Korean-born player currently playing professionally in the Hong Kong Premier League for HKFC. Concurrently, I am pursuing a degree in Business Economics at City University of Hong Kong. Prior to turning professional, I went through the U.S. college recruiting process and competed at the collegiate level. Upon graduating from high school, I received interest and offers from NCAA Division I, II, and III programs, as well as from NJCAA and NAIA institutions. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, which led to coaching staff departures, several offers were withdrawn at the last minute. Ultimately, I committed to play at the NCAA Division II level with a two-thirds athletic scholarship.
