JARA BALCAR
TRAINER
Soccer has always been more than a game for me it has been a way to grow, learn, and challenge myself. I first started playing at 7, and over the years it has grown into a lifelong passion. I competed in senior soccer in the Czech Republic, playing six seasons in the fourth highest division. I also had the honor of winning the Czech University Football League in 2023 and representing my country at the European Universities Games in Hungary in 2024.
My journey on the field was shaped by both success and challenges. After two major ACL injuries, my path as a player was put on hold. Even though these injuries were difficult, they taught me resilience, discipline, and a deeper understanding of the game.
Coaching became the natural next step for me. It allows me to stay connected to the sport I love while sharing my experience, knowledge, and passion with younger players, helping them grow both as athletes and as individuals.
