Intervju: Katja Cajnko

1. What does your average day look like?
My average day, of course, means going to work, after work I cook something good, do some sports, read a good book, and the day is over.



2. How do you organize your day?
I don't usually have a specific plan for each day, unless I have some commitments. In addition to work, I try to spend at least some of my free time training.

3. What were you like as a child, what were you interested in, what did you like to do?⁣
My mother would say that I was everywhere, literally. I wanted to see everything, try everything, taste everything. I gave my parents a lot of gray hair by wandering off in my own way, even if they only caught my eye for a minute or two. I preferred to be outside, in nature, scratched, dirty, with red cheeks and smiling from ear to ear.



4. Where does the motivation/energy for your lifestyle come from?⁣
I could say that this motivation stems from my childhood, as I started playing sports quite early. In elementary school it was basketball, occasionally handball, and later running joined in. Today, what motivates me most is that sport is a form of meditation for me, which helps me overcome everyday obstacles. Of course, I would be lying if I said that it doesn't also make me look good, but the most important thing is of course the beneficial effect on health.



5. What sports do you do daily or weekly?
In recent years, my favorite things have been mountaineering and sport climbing. I also include interval training and strength training, so sometimes an hour is not enough in a whole day. On weekends, you can definitely find me on a wall somewhere.



6. Favorite spot you like to go to?
Favorite spot? Huh, it's almost hard to say. I say that my second home is the hills. If I had to choose, I would say it's the local hill Stolpnik, which has a special energy and a beautiful view of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, and is just the right height for good fitness training and preparation for more demanding tours.


7. What does good clothing mean to you?⁣
Good clothing for me, regardless of the price, means that I feel comfortable in it, that it is made of quality materials and, above all, that it is durable, which is very quickly evident when climbing.



8. What changes once you put on sportswear - does your motivation for something more increase? ⁣
Once I put on my "battle gear", there's no going back, only action. I find that just putting on your favorite workout shirt and pants gives you a boost and motivation for a good workout.

9. How did you perceive sportswear in the past and how do you perceive it today?⁣
I would say that we didn't put so much emphasis on it back in the day, at least I didn't, a simple T-shirt and a pair of trainers were enough. Today I have a closet just for sportswear, and even that one is starting to fall apart. You know, we girls like to look good even while doing sports ;)

10. What does your sports dressing system look like? ⁣
I don't have a specific system, but if it's a tour or climbing, I make sure to have the right spare clothes, which should never be missing from my backpack. Above all, there is no shortage of active shirts, and a good windbreaker is also indispensable.

11. Where do you see the advantages of SportHG clothing?⁣
I see the advantage in quality as well as appearance.

12. What from the SportHG collection would you recommend to girls who like to play sports?⁣
I would recommend T-shirts that are really cute, high quality, and that I feel comfortable in all day long.

13. Your future plans/plans?⁣
There are many plans, but not enough time :) The goal is definitely to improve my climbing technique so that I can climb some more difficult routes. I have a great desire to climb the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, Piz Bernino, etc., so I also spend a lot of my free time training and improving my knowledge. I also attend a mountaineering school and hope to achieve the title of "alpinist" :)



14. Tell us something about yourself.
I'm actually a pretty simple girl who lives for nature. Nature is what teaches us the most and keeps our mind and body in balance. Sometimes someone asks me what my ideal date is, a movie, a dinner? No, going out into nature, because that's where character shows itself best and masks fall off quickly.
Besides playing sports, I'm a huge bookworm, my shelves are full of books, and I also start every day with a good book at breakfast.

What Katja says about the Pro Team short sleeve shirt:

I knew it would be great when I tried it on, because it fits me like a glove, and I don't think I need to mention the beautiful color combinations. Well, since looks aren't everything, it was put to the test over the weekend when it was time to do some sports. After a 14km hike, the shirt was soaked as expected, but I didn't feel it at all, because it wicks moisture away perfectly and makes you feel dry. There was also no trace of any unpleasant odor, despite a lot of sweating. The zipper on the neckline is also handy, as it allows for additional ventilation. I would definitely recommend this shirt to all sports enthusiasts, regardless of the type of sport, because it is really high quality and adapts to the body nicely. I think every athlete should have at least one such shirt in their closet. Well, I believe that once you try it on for the first time, you will definitely not stay with just one :)

I would love to try some of the leggings from the rest of the collection.
