In 2016 , Wojtek broke his neck in two places during a game while playing in Russia. Faced with extreme circumstances, Wojtek was able to use the goal of playing in the Olympics as motivation to help him overcome the circumstances that he was faced with. Wojtek possesses an incredible ability to overcome obstacles and persevere when faced with adversity. Wojtek has lived all over the world, residing in Poland, Germany, Canada, USA, Russia,China, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic.

Coaching Philosophy.
Wojtek focuses on helping clients continually expand what they believe to be possible – for their goals, and ultimately their lives. He draws from his life experience as a professional athlete, Olympian, but also someone who has battled depression, failure, disappointment and continually overcome it. Wojtek has been faced with many obstacles and believes that overcoming adversity has been one of the most important learning experiences of his life. Wojtek emphasizes the importance of a growth mindset instead of one of comfort. He is a strong advocate for his clients and challenges them to reimagine what they are truly capable of.
