“Sport connects people and blurs cultural divides.”
Denis Atanasow
Denis’s family went through repatriation, so he has lived between two cultures since early childhood. He graduated in Image Communication from the University of Wrocław and today works in HR, helping, among others, foreigners with residence legalisation and recruitment. Denis understands the power of words, and knows body language even better – he is fascinated by non-verbal communication and image building. He also has two great passions – music and football. He listens to hip-hop, which relaxes him, while football shaped his character. He played competitively for 12 years, so he knows well that football is more than a sport. For Denis, it is a joy he wants to pass on to children. He dreams that one of his players will make a career of it, but believes that having fun matters most.
Wojciech Misiewicz
Wojtek is a teacher who can infect anyone with his passion. He graduated from Wrocław University of Science and Technology and has been teaching physics and chemistry with unflagging enthusiasm for eight years. He also plans to qualify to teach mathematics, because numbers and equations are just as fascinating a world for him. Outside school he works as a seniors’ coach and a neighbourhood coach, combining sport with working with people – which gives him great satisfaction. His interests are very diverse. He is fascinated by astronomy, especially the mysteries of the Solar System, but feels just as much at home on mountain trails and on football and basketball courts. Wojtek is an open person who values conversation and contact with others. He believes that doing what you love gives you wings. That is why, after intense mental work, he loves to unwind on the pitch, where he finds pure joy.
They know each other from the pitch
Denis and Wojtek met on one of the Orlik pitches, and football was the beginning of their friendship. Over seven years they have got to know each other well and developed an excellent understanding. Now they want to combine their experience and create their own sports programme for children. They share a vision: sport is more than physical activity, it is a tool for building bonds. “Sport connects people, and in these turbulent times it can bring out more good – not only in children, but also in their parents,” they emphasise.
Denis and Wojciech run their sessions at Primary School No. 38, ul. Horbaczewskiego 61.
