CV

I started skiing as a child under the guidance of my dad, who at that time led the ski club TJ SPORT BRNO. I went to the Highlands to Bucht Hill. We were there every weekend and went to the Beskydy for spring break. I refused to ride various ski championships and maybe at that time I started my next development. Over time, I got into other sports from racing skiing and tried tennis and cycling. The whole course of sports was completed by studying at the Faculty of Education with a focus on sports training. During the study, I fully returned to skiing as an instructor and devoted myself to learning for 15 years to move to the position of Alpine Ski Trainer for the last 5 years for the Czech Ski Association. Here I can fully use my experience of learning skiing around the world and my studies.

I got to APUL thanks to my bosses in Pec pod Sněžkou, which motivated me to go to the course and learn more about skiing. The whole thing got a fast pace and after a short course for students of sports faculties, which I graduated in the spring I then in the next season went to course B, a labyrinth, snb course and ended in spring course A and audition for lecturer choir. There I met other great skiers who enjoy skiing and passing on the experience to the cursors is their mission. We've been talking together for 14 years.

I look forward to seeing you at one of the courses.
