Czech Floorball Player Navigates Club relegation, Swedish Life, and National Team Expectations
Lund, Sweden – Czech floorball player, whose name has not been disclosed in the provided text, has chosen to remain in the Swedish league despite her former club, Mora, being relegated, citing multiple offers from top-league teams as a key factor in her decision.The athlete balances a demanding training schedule with work at a Swedish kindergarten and is becoming increasingly proficient in the Swedish language.
The player’s move comes as the Czech national team prepares for upcoming competitions, relying on her skills and experience. Her ability to adapt to a new environment – learning the language and integrating into Swedish society while maintaining connections with Czech teammates Sofia Gocová and Lenka Remešová – highlights her commitment to both her professional and national team aspirations. The decision to stay in Sweden, despite Mora’s demotion, underscores her ambition to compete at the highest level.
The athlete explained, “I had an offer to stay in Mora, but simultaneously occurring three or four offers from teams from the top league where I wanted to stay. As long as I have that performance, it was a clear choice.” She currently divides her time between working at a gym’s reception and a kindergarten, acknowledging the challenges of balancing childcare with rigorous training. “Sometimes it’s difficult to be with the children for eight hours and then go to training, but I really enjoy it. The only downside is that there is often a lot of illness in the team, which is not ideal,” she said.
She also noted her growing fluency in Swedish, using the language regularly at work and in everyday interactions. “I speak Swedish in the cab and at work,” she stated, adding that she reverts to Czech primarily when connecting with her national teammates. The player enjoys incorporating floorball into activities with the children at the kindergarten, playing with those as old as one and a half years in the garden.
