  • Polish Fencing Coaches in the United States and Their Contribution to the Development of American Fencing After 1989
    MACIEJ ŁUCZAK Department of History and Organization of Physical Culture Chair of Humanistic Foundations of Physical Culture University School of Physical Education, Poznań [email protected] TOMASZ SKIRECKI Department of Polish-AngloSaxon Cultural Relations School of English Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań [email protected] POLISH FENCING COACHES IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN FENCING AFTER 1989 In the first decade of the 21st century the United States has joined the historical leading European fencing powers: France, Italy, Russia, Germany, Hungary and Poland. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens the American fencers won the gold and bronze medals in women’s individual saber – an event debuting in the Olympic program. Four years later at the Olympics in Beijing the US fenc- ers swept all three medals in women’s individual saber, bronze in women’s team saber, silver in women’s team foil and silver in men’s team saber. Olym- pic fencing, especially women’s saber fencing, is currently in its heyday in the United States.1 It is an important part of collegiate athletics and the number of fencing clubs in the USA is probably the largest in the world. 1 E.

Borysiuk, Modern Saber Fencing, SKA SwordPlay Books, Staten Is- land, NY 2009, p. 17. 172 MACIEJ ŁUCZAK AND TOMASZ SKIRECKI The author of the mentioned successes of the American women’s saber in the two consecutive Olympics is a Polish fencing master Edward Korfanty, who is regarded as one of the most renowned fencing coaches in the present- day United States.

  • USA Fencing Board of Directors Meeting Columbus, Ohio July 1, 2013 CEO Report 1. Key Success Factors
    USA Fencing Board of Directors Meeting Columbus, Ohio July 1, 2013 CEO Report 1. Key Success Factors Finance. This year through budget cuts, better management oversight and procedures, the organization is on track to meet our projected $840,000 positive net income. If achieved, this will be the highest net income that USA Fencing has ever met. We have paid down our current and long term liabilities at an impressive rate. Specifically, since the beginning of this fiscal year we have paid down on our accounts payable by $958,000. Cash Flow has been carefully monitored and we have successfully worked through our low cash periods. Credit terms are now being extended to us which is a crucial part of managing cash flow. This is not only a huge improvement from 2012, but will provide a good reference for us next season. As of June, none of the $250,000 line of credit provided to us by the USFF has been accessed. Development. USA Fencing has completed two giving campaigns this year. Life members and past donors received a personalized letter at the end of year highlighting our successes and plans for 2013-14. To wrap up the 2012-13 season, an electronic appeal will be sent out to all members in conjunction with an ad in the Summer Nationals program. General donation revenue is up over 2011-12 by 53% reflecting an increase in over $12,000. A formal development plan was created for diversifying and increasing annual giving revenues. The organization is also applying for grant funding outside of the USOC grant opportunities and will continue to seek out other foundation opportunities.
