Poljak
“A number of physical problems have been bothering me more and more for the last couple of years and therefore I decided to end my career in order to stop ‘torturing’ myself and the medical staff around me,” she explained.
It is the first time a former top player has transitioned straight from the court to a desk at the CEV headquarters.
Poljak looks forward to playing a different role, this time off the court, to grow Volleyball and take the sport to the next level:
“Luxembourg is a very peaceful place and it is a nice change after living for many years in huge and chaotic cities such as Istanbul and Moscow. As for my role at the CEV, I will be working closely with the organizers of our top sports events and hopefully I can help with their successful delivery so that we can take as many people as possible to our beautiful sport,” Maja says. “I will also work closely with the European Cups Commission and European Sports Organising Commission as well as with the Marketing Department, so I have a bit of a multi-functional job.”
