“On the pitch, communication always looks different. Great stories, and even friendships, come out of it.”
Michał Ujma
Michał has always been connected with sport – he started with basketball and today feels just as at home in winter and water sports. Every form of activity is a chance for him to compete, have fun and keep improving.
He is also fascinated by numbers and statistics, especially analysing NBA results. He likes to compare them with data from previous seasons and predict what the next ones will look like. His commitment to sport led him to the University of Physical Education, where he studied Tourism and Recreation. After graduating he didn’t slow down – as a neighbourhood coach and an employee of the School Sports Association he organises competitions and events that attract pupils from primary and secondary schools. Thanks to him, sport becomes an opportunity not only for competition but also for fun for whole families.
Anastazja Semennikova
Anastazja can’t imagine life without movement. She trains with resistance bands, does stretching and yoga, but she also has an artistic soul – as a young girl she played the piano and graduated from a music school. She loves books, especially on psychology. She came to Poland eight years ago to study logistics and quickly felt it was her place on earth. Although she comes from Zaporizhzhia, Wrocław has long been her home and she can’t imagine living anywhere else. Day to day she works in the accounting department of a logistics company, but it is contact with children that gives her the most joy. When her brother’s daughters were little, she often looked after them – now one of them also runs sports sessions.
Anastazja believes that movement is not only about health but also a way to build bonds. She hopes to encourage more girls to take part – she will be happy to show them what a great game badminton or volleyball can be.
A couple in life and on the pitch
Anastazja and Michał have been a couple for more than four years. They met at a party at a mutual friend’s place, but it was Michał who noticed her first. The next day he was “by chance” waiting for her outside her workplace. He was also the one who talked her into joining the project, seeing it as a great way to spend time together. Besides the sports sessions, they want to organise family events, tournaments and a recreation village. They believe sport brings people together and that the pitch is a place where stories and friendships are born.
Anastazja and Michał run their sessions at Primary School No. 50, ul. Czeska 38.
