The story of the Virtual Training company began with two brothers, Petr and Jiri Samek, in South Bohemia. The brothers studied in a gymnasium with a cycling major and loved to ride bicycles. While studying at Prague Polytechnic University, they realized that they did not have a tool to measure the results of cycling competitions. So, in their free time from studies, they launched “SportSoft” together with two other guys, Karel Hudecek and Jiri Kortus. An application was developed for result measurements in different sports tournaments.

The Virtual Training team is international in its background and consists of people with considerable experience in different areas, such as software development, customer service, and marketing. The required mix of technical geekiness and business expertise is glued with a passion for sports that unite them all. Some team members possess postgraduate degrees in Physical Education and Training, while others worked, or are still working, as coaches for kids and teenagers in their spare time.
