How did you get into sport? – From the little boy I love to play football, I always played all day with friends outside and I very would like play in football club, I made a bit pressure on my parents to take me to football club. They saw potential in me and when I was 6 yrs old I joined the soccer academy Stadion Slaski Chorzow.
Who or what got you into sport? – My parents. They helped me a lot in my journey. It costs them a lot of patience and sacrifice, driving me to the training and spent their time to go and wake up always with me. Of course when I got a bit older than I start going alone to relieve them of it. I remember also one situation, when I first time came to training in club, the current President of the academy when he first time saw me, after he said to my parents in the future I will be a pro football player.
What’s your advice for young athletes? – First of all to enjoy the football and have fun. If you really like it and you know football is the sport what you want do for serious than make your goals, work hard in training and always give all, because it will benefit later and is so many guys who want became pro footballer.
Are you a fan of other sports, do you watch other sports in your free time? – I also like other sports, but my favourite sports is football. Basketball sometimes I like to watch, I remember when I was little I watched ski jumping, bcos of polish guy Adam Małysz. Who was your idol when you started? Did you meet him in real life? – My idol was Cristiano Ronaldo, from the moment when I first saw it in action yet at Sporting. I never met him, but I saw him live in National Team twice. Im trying take something from everyone now, but really like Neymar and his creative mind.
What’s your next goal in near future? – My near goal is to be healthy and give my best in every single game, which I will have, to make as best as I can the coming round and than we will see. Football is amazing because of this you never know what can happen.
Do you have some dream you would like to achieve in sport? – First of all, become better player every day, if this things will happen than for sure I can catch better club which is my aim.
Always is to play in National Team but it can be hard, but get from football as much as I can and catch as high level as I can and to make better life for me and my family.
Your biggest success in sport life till now? – I think became pro footballer, everyone dream about it but not all can get it. I won something already in my life, but Im still hungry to get more
