My name is Elese Sommerová and I am a strength & conditioning coach from Prague with American roots. I am also currently a professional alpine skier who has competed in everything from World Cups to the Olympics. Ski racing has led me to strength training on a regular basis for the last ten years. Through my experience as a professional athlete, I believe that individualized strength training has great performance and health benefits regardless if you are a professional athlete or are just simply wanting to look and feel good. In this case, an individualized approach is always king as no individual is the same. That's why with me, our work together always begins with an initial diagnostic as well as basic performance tests in the case of an athlete. ​ Outside of my professional skiing career, I am also studying Sports Science at the Faculty of Education & Sport at Charles University in Prague. This allows me to perfectly combine my practical experience as an athlete with the theoretical nuances of strength and conditioning. To further broaden my knowledge and stay up to date with the current trends, I always try to further educate myself with the latest studies and information available.
