MichaŁ Podgórzak​

Founder, CEO Athlete Bridge

Michał holds a B.A. in Sports & Business Management from Limestone University and an MBA in Operations from Quincy University. A former Division I volleyball standout and professional player in Poland’s Tauron League, he earned multiple “All Conference” honors. Michał gained valuable experience as a college recruiter and coach while working at the Academy Volleyball Club in Palo Alto, California. Now based in Warsaw, Poland, he is dedicated to helping young athletes reach their potential and guiding them toward successful collegiate careers in the United States.
His journey as a student-athlete began with a dream of excelling in both sports and academics, which led him to the United States. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Limestone University, with dual focuses in Business and Sports Management, and later completed a Master’s at Quincy University. Competing in the NCAA provided him with a rare opportunity to face some of the best athletes in the country, earning multiple All-Conference honors along the way. Beyond the competition, his experiences highlighted the unique culture of sports in America—where the pursuit of excellence, organized events, and cutting-edge technology come together to elevate every athlete’s journey.
After graduation, he took on a role with the Academy Volleyball Club in the heart of Silicon Valley, California. Immersed in this environment, he developed a passion for the game and the unique approach to sports management and athlete development in the U.S. He witnessed firsthand how thoughtful organization, a structured recruiting process, and the use of technology could open doors for athletes. He also recognized a gap in Europe, where student-athletes often have fewer pathways to pursue both education and sports. Inspired to bridge this gap and share these opportunities, he founded Athlete Bridge.
