Thank you and we look forward to the next meeting!”
“Pavel was with us at VCCP for an inspiring breakfast. The team's participation was a record. Everyone was very curious, how can such a professional athlete speak!? In addition to great ideas and lessons, which Pavel supported with interesting experiences from life and his professional career, he interspersed his performance with moments for reflection. We also had a lot of fun and delayed Pavel with our questions and questions about the body. He was able to guide us through difficult topics as easily as a professional basketball player with a ball in hand. Thank you very much Pavel, I think we will remember your advice and tricks for a long time.”
