Dear Ladies and Gentlemen

I have been involved in professional for over 20 years. As a player I gained Junior in 1997, Junior Championship in 1996, six titles as a Polish Champion, bronze medal on the Champions League, bronze medal of Championship in 2014 as well as bronze medal on the Championship in 2015. I was proud to represent on the Olimpic in Athens in 2004 and also be representative of Polish National Team for 120 times. Thanks to my experience gained during 's carrier and the chance of working with professionals I know how to combine sport and business to get on well together.

Fistball- the sport which is the combination of volleyball and on the grass court. This discipline is not popular among Polish fans and observers but we are convinced that this is only the question of time when fistball becomes recognizable and finally popular in our country. Many Polish sport's fans will have a chance to learn more about fistball thanks to The . This event is organized in Wroclaw. The great benefit of The World Games is the fact that the first professional fistball court will be created in Poland. It may be the impulse to the development of this discipline in our country. In German, Austria and it is more and more developing sport, that is why we strongly believe in its potential in our country. Accordingly, we made a decision about setting the first Polish devoting to this discipline- The Polish Fistball Association. We are also the member of INTERNATIONAL FISTBALL ASSOCIATION which has been acting for almost 60 years and gathers 52 countries.

The beginning of Polish Fistball Association started to function in 2017 however the attempts to create the first Polish club responsible for spreading the idea of fistball were taken the year before. Although, our team is just the beginner we have already got a chance to represent our country on the big international even such as European Championship, which took place in Grieskirchen last year. We ended up on the 7th place. We were eliminated in quarter- final by the leader- German team. Last year's experience showed that we are the team with a big potential and the only thing we need more is time spent together on the court. We aimed to represent our country well on the international events because we are aware that only our achievements may have great influence on the development of Fistball in Poland.

I strongly believe that the cooperation with Polish Fistball Association may be beneficial for your company. We will do our best to achieve commercial success and sport's victory.
