“Sport has to be a passion. Without it, nothing works.”

Piotr Zalewski

Piotr doesn’t just do sport – he lives it. Although he comes from Jelcz-Laskowice, Wrocław has been his place on earth for over a decade. Professionally he works in merchandise supply, but his heart always beats to the rhythm of sporting competition.

Volleyball is his world – for 15 years he has been passing on to children not only technique but also the joy of the game. “When you do what you love, work becomes a pleasure,” he says.

Outside training, he spends time with family and friends and loves board games and lively discussions about politics. In his view, balance is the key to everything. In his sessions he focuses on good energy. He believes that if we show children a positive attitude, they will return it. That is why he keeps developing and sharing his passion, passing it on to the next generations.

Uliana Zalutska

She has always been on the move – on the pitch, among people, in life. For Uliana, sport is not just a passion but a way to find herself in a new reality. When the war in Ukraine took away her sense of security, she found it again in Wrocław – with a ball at her feet and a plan for the future. Playing for Ślęza Wrocław, she scored goals and broke stereotypes. Today she is 19, studies programming and combines the world of IT with her love of sport. Since childhood she has taken part in school competitions, whatever the discipline – she always wanted to be part of a team.

Working with children, she shows them that sport is not only physical activity but also joy, cooperation and self-belief. Her story proves that even in the hardest circumstances you can start again – with energy, a smile and courage.

Uliana and Piotr run their sessions at Primary School No. 15, ul. Ludwika Solskiego 13.
