What are the best ways to put the body under stress so that it responds positively and increases its fitness as efficiently as possible. After all, the more effective the training, the higher the performance and the better the athlete. At this point I was sure that my place was definitely on the other side of the game, not as a player but as a coach!
After high school, I was accepted to several top colleges, in America, England, Russia and Ireland. I decided to go to college in Ireland as it allowed me to work in a sports club at the same time as studying.
In the town where my parents and I once moved, Martin, the second highest men’s hockey league was played. And the coach, Ernest Bokroš, gave me the opportunity to work alongside him as a strength and conditioning coach and therapist. Whilst working and studying I was able to supplement my education with several academic courses including accreditation from the International Sport Science Association (ISSA).
I continued to work with coach Bokroš, who is also a world champion in ice hockey, but already in the Extraliga – the highest ice hockey league in Slovakia.
