2019 was an incredibly special year for us as we celebrated the 25th anniversary of our journey together. It is one special moment when you look at yourself a little more and become immensely grateful for all that you are, all that you have, and all that you know. But this is not our only connection. We have both found a purpose that gives meaning to the other side of life. On our anniversary, we felt we wanted to intertwine our paths even more: combine our knowledge, experience and skills and dedicate part of our lives to helping and supporting others.
I am an active member of the Ski Association of Slovenia. In recent years, I have worked closely with athletes in sports. For over 15 years I have been involved in the labour market, employment and helping individuals to find new career opportunities. Sports and helping people find employment therefore represent the second crossroads of our lives. In our work we are often confronted with the challenges of both individuals and athletes who want to take a new path in life and find their own identity. In meeting these challenges, we felt the hardship and struggles of many. For this reason, in 2020, we combined our knowledge and passion to create Zavod Vitae+ to support athletes to get ready for life after their sports careers.
