One picture, one story

Being Coach is one of my roles which I chosen for myself when I was a teenager. In the begining of high school I already knew where I'll go, what I'll do next. My school mates wanted to be engineers, doctors, lawyers... My path was different. Maybe it's becouse of my father who told me one day: "Tomasz, you are free man. Do what you want, what makes you happy. Find your own path and go".
Besides My Dad noone understood that I'll be coach of completely unknown sport (unknown in Poland) but I was stubborn. Every small success on university or in competition as an athlete was taking me one small step closer to this moment. It was long journey, with many curves but I knew that good things in life are result of hard work. I put myself in 100% into sport. Freestyle Kayaking gave me my platform for development.
I started my International career in 2004. I was 16 y.o. and had to learn many things by myself. I was also learning skills which started to be my tools in being coach. One of them is awareness.
Awerness of where I am, what I need to learn, how to learn it... this is the most important thing for me as an athlete and as a coach. This is what I'm teaching my paddlers. Besides throwing tricks we need to know why we are doing that. It's our phylosophy, becouse sport, lifestyle, training process are important elements of something bigger...
Today I'm proud coach of Austrian Beast.
We started to work together on our road to Europeans nearly 2 years ago. Today Jonas is the World Champion. I'm very happy, satisfied and proud!
This wasn't typical competition that's why I'm super proud of Jonas. He handeled the situation being the best paddler out there and making nearly 100% of our tactics plan. What is great achievment!
