After five rewarding years at Park Lane, I am delighted to continue my journey at the school as Director of Sport. Having previously led Primary PE, I am excited to now bring our sporting programme together across the school and help shape its next chapter.I have over 20 years of experience working in Primary and Secondary education across different countries and cultures. Before returning home to the Czech Republic and joining Park Lane, I spent four years working in Kazakhstan. These international experiences have strongly influenced my approach to PE and my belief that sport has a unique ability to create lasting memories, build positive habits and bring people together.
Having been an athlete throughout my life, sport is a huge part of who I am. My motivation is simple: to pass that passion and energy on and help every student find a physical activity they can enjoy for life.As Director of Sport, my vision is to build a connected, ambitious and inclusive sporting culture across Park Lane, making sport more visible and creating as many opportunities as possible for students to participate, compete, explore and celebrate each other’s achievements.For me, PE is about much more than physical skills. It builds confidence, resilience, teamwork, physical and mental wellbeing. Above all, I want our students to discover through sport that they can enjoy the moment, embrace challenges, overcome difficulties and always find a way forward.
Outside school, I am happiest when I am active and outdoors, particularly when I can share an adventure with my two sons, family or friends. Mountaineering is my greatest passion at the moment, in both summer and winter, but I am always ready to try almost any sport.
