Growing up in Czech Republic, Lucie competed in sports as far back as she can remember. She spent summers on tennis courts and winters at ski competitions. After some years on the Czech National Ski Team, she earned a full ride on the University of Colorado’s Ski Team. Moving around the world and away from everything she knew, she leaned on her teammates for support on and off the hill. This was a formative experience that made her realize how much more an athlete can do in a positive and supportive environment.
Lucie loves connecting with athletes of all ages and helping them make progress every day. While in college, Lucie coached ski camps every summer, working with promising skiers on getting stronger and faster. Some of these “kids” went on to ski on the US Ski Team and at CU. In 2011, Lucie was introduced to CrossFit at Roots and was quickly hooked. She started coaching after she earned her L1 and CrossFit Kids certificates. After moving away for some time, she is back and excited to be reunited with the Roots community. She still loves connecting with athletes of all ages and helping them get better every day.
