Adela Ćatić

Professor of sport and physical education who contributes to the climbing club through a combination of professional education, practical experience, and continuous development in working with children, youth, and adults.

Alongside her formal education in sport and physical education, she has continued her education in pedagogy, developmental psychology, communication, and holistic approaches to health and learning.

A special part of her work is focused on play pedagogy, through which she has led more than 2,500 workshops with children, youth, and adults on various educational and developmental topics. Her approach creates a safe, motivating, and experience-based environment where learning and development happen naturally through movement, experience, and connection with nature.

She believes that quality work with children and adults means much more than teaching technique — it means understanding people, their development, needs, and potential. Her work connects sport, mental and physical well-being, and time spent in nature.
