Katarina Janickova

Highly motivated and goal-oriented Strength and Conditioning Coach with a solid background in building and managing individual and group training programs in football team. Experienced in optimizing athletic performance through speed, strength, and power conditioning, as well as daily workload monitoring. Detail-oriented, systematic, and driven to achieve results with every athlete with huge passion for speed development. Enjoys working with female players by considering their menstrual cycle, checking for irregularities, tailoring gym and pitch programs based on the latest evidence on performance, or common injuries in female football.

Believes that having individuals who are truly interested in the female physiology and female athletes can propel these athletes to greater performance levels. Creating equal opportunities for both female and male athletes is a fundamental pillar in closing the gender gap in football (or any sport). This includes providing equal facilities & and support for women. Female players are at greater risk of injuries than male, not only because of the anatomical & physiological differences, but because of real, systematic barriers.
