ABOUT ME
Od leta 2005, ko sem po 15 letih zaključil svojo profesionalno športno kariero v gorskem kolesarstvu, se v celoti posvečam trenerskemu delu in vsemu, kar je povezano z njim. Since I ended my cycling career as a professional mountain bike rider in 2005, I am fully dedicated to coaching and everything associated with it.
My Story.
My Mission.
I’m cooperating with professional, amateur and recreational athletes. I have the most experience in coaching cyclists (road and mountain bike) and triathletes. I have been working with tennis players and skiers, and I also have experience at work with young athletes.
Over the years I have gained a lot of experience and valuable knowledge working with athletes. As the science of sport is quickly evolving I am constantly expanding my knowledge with further education in Slovenia and abroad. I have obtained a coaching certificate, levels I and II, issued by Cycling Federation of Slovenia.
I use the latest advanced training methods and techniques of coaching in my work. I want to offer my athletes the best support to help them achieve their optimum, both in training and racing.
Being a coach is my drive and passion. The best part of coaching is not actually the act of coaching, but witnessing my athlete’s growth and achieving their goals. I always try to be available and supportive in every way. In return, I expect athletes to commit to training, be independent, give regular feedback and keep an open mind for suggestions and necessary changes in the training process.
