BACKGROUND AND PLAYING
Indoor volleyball has been a part of my life since the 2nd year of elementary school. I learned and played in several clubs in the Gorenjska region (Slovenia) and represented the Slovenian colors at the European Youth Olympic Festival 2013 (Netherlands), where our team won the tournament. In addition to indoor volleyball training, I was also part of secondary school team and spent two summers training beach volleyball on the Slovenian coast. In 2014, both the indoor team (cadets) and the beach volleyball team (U-19), in which I also played, won the national championship for youth teams. In the meantime, whenever I played for the teams of the same age, I also played for the team that competed in the first national league. I finished my last season in the first division as captain, but decided to continue on my academic path. After that, I took a break for a few years.
I have been playing indoor and especially beach volleyball in women’s and mixed teams in my free time for several years. In the 2023-2024 academic year I was captain of our faculty team that participated in the University Indoor Volleyball League, 2023-2024 I placed second in the National University Beachvolleyball Championship with my teammate, I have never played before this tournament.
AREAS OF INTEREST
I prefer playing beach volleyball to indoor volleyball.
CONCEPT OF WORK
In my active volleyball days, I played all positions in indoor volleyball except setter, so the goal is to set as much as possible in recreational tournaments. I am also learning to hit the ball with both hands for fun.
