Introduction
"If you’re motivated, do it motivated.
If you’re unmotivated, do it unmotivated.
You’ll progress anyway."
All roads lead to Rome
As I remember, the first thing that I really liked in my life was doing sports. In the early years of school I did gymnastics and later karate. Even back then, I imagined that I would later become a trainer, or a sempai when we talk about karate. I was sure about one thing, combining sports with teaching was definitely my thing.
When I was 16, I started dancesport (competitive ballroom dancing) and almost immediately after I was able to create choreographies on my own I started teaching as well. The plan was to become a professional instructor, but university just stepped in the way. My focus changed from sports and teaching to study engineering and later on work in that field.
The beginning
In a few years, I worked my way up to the top in engineering, I became one of the leaders of a manufacturing company. At this time, teaching was present in my life in a different way, in the form of various professional trainings. I tried several different sports during this period, from aerobics to roller skating, but I couldn't really commit to any of them.
In 2018, a fractured ankle changed my life, and I finally started paying attention to what really mattered to me. After recovery, I found pole sports by chance, and after the second lesson I already knew that this would be the form of exercise I would like to teach. In order to become an instructor, I completed a fitness instructor course, but I felt that this knowledge on itself would not be sufficient for my clients to develop continuously and without injury.
The Evolution
In recent years, the trainings followed one another, first I became a personal trainer, later supplemented my knowledge with the tools of yoga and mobility. My trainings have changed completely over the time, instead of perfecting sport-specific movements, improving posture, maintaining health, developing strenght and body awareness have become the main focus. I am constantly looking for new tools and techniques which I can improve my training sessions with, effectively supporting the development of my clients.
What I always say to my clients: The only thing stands between your present self and your goals is YOU. And you’re the only one, who has the power to step on the road towards those goals.
