My professional experience in this field is far ranging. I was a member of the Polish National Acrobatic Gymnastics Team with the world renowned Olympian Alexander Rokosa as my coach. Later, I had pleasure to be coached by Stanislaw Geron, one of the greatest Polish coaches, who reared many world class athletes. These two people were my mentors and contributed a lot to my coming-to-be a professional coach.
Since I started my coaching career in 1988, I have become popular among gymnasts and their parents. I have a reputation for producing solid, measurable results in relatively short time and without putting the children under undue stress. My methods quickly develop correct body-alignment, flexibility, strength and acrobatic skills. As a coach and an educator I want to cultivate child’s passion for gymnastics sports to shape young person’s mind and body through the means of these beautiful disciplines making them better human beings.
I am a coach because I enjoy hard work and helping others find success. I will provide meaningful instruction using methods and techniques proven by the best Acrobatic, Tumbling and Trampoline schools in the world in order to reach each athlete’s maximum potential.

I have a proven record in producing national level and world class athletes. During my coaching career my athletes won over 150 medals while competing at Polish National Acrobatic Gymnastics, Trampoline Gymnastics and Tumbling Championships.
They also competed and won numerous medals at many international events such as World and European Championships, World Cup, World Games and World Age Group Competitions. Among the most talented athletes I coached I would like to mention the following:


Lukasz Tomaszewski and Tomasz Adamczyk, man Synchro Trampoline, who were top 8 in several World Championships and World Cup competitions and won Silver at World Cup in 2010
 Tomasz Adamczyk won the Bronze medal at European Championships in Tumbling in 2004
 Agnieszka Bondarchuk won the Silver medal at World Championships in Acrobatic Gymnastics in 1992


I have an extensive international coaching experience. I designed and choreographed routines for Trampoline , Dubel mini Trampoline, Tumbling Gymnastics and Acrobatic Gymnastics for National Team members in Ukraine, Canada, Italy and Hungary.


During my work in Canada my T&T athletes participated and won 43 medals in the following competitions in 2013 -2014:


1. Canadian Championships
2. Canada Cup
3. Western Canada Regional Championships
