On December 20, 2024, the grand opening of RODMARK GROUP s.r.o., a sports agency dedicated to supporting the individual development of young football talents in Slovakia, took place at the National Tennis Center in Košice. This unique initiative has brought together experts in sports management, training, and recovery to create an exceptional space for players to grow and develop at a professional level.

A Vision for the Future of Young Talents

At the forefront of this ambitious project is founder Marek Rodák Sr., who has infused the agency with his passion for football and years of experience. The agency’s ambassador is his son, Marek Rodák Jr., the Slovak national team goalkeeper whose name is well known in the football world.

The opening ceremony featured a well-organized program, including presentations on the agency’s services, vision, and goals. In his speech, Marek Rodák Jr. emphasized the importance of an individual approach to player development, highlighting that the agency will focus not only on training but also on comprehensive player support in areas such as recovery, mental preparation, and career development.

“I believe that every young athlete deserves individual care. RODMARK GROUP is not just an agency; it is a place where we turn dreams into reality.” – Marek Rodák Jr.

A Contribution to the Football Community

The agency's main mission is to create an environment that allows footballers to improve their individual skills, such as dribbling, shooting, and passing. It also provides cutting-edge technology, including GPS trackers, video analysis, and performance monitoring tools. Additionally, RODMARK GROUP collaborates with nutritionists, physiotherapists, and mental coaches to ensure the holistic development of its players.

The project also has a strong social dimension. The agency will partner with the Športové centrum MR, a non-profit organization aimed at supporting talented players from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
