I am an experienced, committed and focused volleyball/beach volley trainer and sport project manager. I worked hard to compete at the highest level in Europe and then I specialised in training both kids and professionals. I lived and worked in 4 different countries collecting international experience and creating a valuable network of professionals around the world. In the last years I have been involved in several sport management projects including tournaments and internationally funded sport programmes. I have trained and taught in several championships. As part of my commitment to the sport I also actively work to gather funds for several sport related activities in Slovenia.
