Winning Assist

Most recent college graduates are just beginning their careers, but Pia Serowik ’25 is already busy running a booming business she started while still a student two years ago. Serowik, a former BC field hockey player, is the creator of Mr. Assist, a field hockey training tool. Modeled after an ice hockey device created by her father, former NHL player Jeff Serowik, Mr. Assist is a ball on a bungee cord that players can attach to their stick to practice passing and receiving. Mr. Assist was at one point the top-selling field hockey accessory on Amazon, and the company, an official sponsor of USA Field Hockey, has even launched its own youth field hockey camp, featuring a curriculum designed by Serowik. “Field hockey has given me everything,” Serowik said. “Creating a product was a way for me to stay in it forever.” ◽
