Summary

A hardworking and passionate former athlete who found his place in sports administration. Thanks to my track and field experience, I have a good understanding of the needs of athletes and their coaches which I use in my day-to-day work.


The years I spent as a professional athlete had taught me to always face new tasks boldly and be persistent in a pursuit of the intended goal. I am energetic, communicative and creative. I am a quick learner always implementing entrusted tasks with commitment, I also have a great ability to adapt as well as readiness to take on new challenges.
