Sport is my passion.
Since I was four years old, I was actively participating in ballet and gymnastic. When I was five years old, I rode a motorcycle, that my dad built for me. During Primary School, I used to race in athletics then later swimming. In 2004, I started studying at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University, where I focused on gymnastics and swimming courses. Same year, I started coaching in the Prague Sharks Swimming Club with students from ISP and Riverside School. The children I coached were under 10 years old and I really enjoyed it.

I love to share my experience and skills with the kids, see them smiling during the lessons and hear them say, I love you.
