I met with sport as far as I was at high school properly. Because I enjoyed the collective sports at most, the EWH was the perfect choice for me. I have played EWH since 2002, when I played in the team SK Akáda Janské Lázně. After the Europe Championat in 2002 and after my graduation on the high school I began study at the University and I had to move to Prague. So I had to change the sport club too; I began play in EWSC LITA SPORT Prague (now EWSC Jaguars Prague).
I used to play with H-stick at first, but as soon as we found someone who was able to make a T-stick, I changed sticks smoothly. Ever since I am the T-stick player in the field and I like it.
The skills (or we can say the art) of the T-stick player consist in driving the wheelchair. But there are some limits because of the technical possibilities of the wheelchair. It can stop the progress of the player. And therefore I bought the sports wheelchair –  Quickie GROOVE M Sport – in May, 2009. I use it only for the sport.
