Referencies.  What have others said about training with Jerzy Grycan?

 Lucjan Blaszczyk (32-times champion of Poland, 12-times medalist in European Championships, champion of Europe, competed in 4 Olympic Games, 5-8 in Athens 2004): „I owe to Jerzy Grycan that of what kind of the player and the person I am at present, and that I enjoy playing table tennis for so many years. I have learned from him rituals for managing myself which I use until today”.

Tomasz Krzeszewski (5-8 in Athens 2004, competed 2 times in Olympic Games, multi-medalist and champion in many European and Polish championships, national coach of Poland): „Thanks to working with the coach Jerzy Grycan I learned that you need to work with the same attention with the body and the mind. I learned to stay mindful and focused in every training and competition. I learned to control own emotions and how to deal with stress during every match. Ability to trigger the right mental state for every match enabled me to achieve successes in sport”.

Adam Haller de Hallenburg (Director of Gestalt Counselling Center in Krakow, psychotherapist, Ju Jitsu coach): „Table tennis training in Jurek Grycan’s proposition is the activity that represents far more than sport’s efforts, it is the holistic self-help activity that develops own awareness as table tennis player, and to an equal degree awareness as human being in relation with other people”.

Anna Bednarska-Wnek (coach): „In my opinion the greatest advantage of Jurek Grycan is that he works with the whole personality. He doesn’t change or ‘brainwash’, he just helps to grow and pursue the mastery – to live and play with passion”.

 

 Trevor Brown ("Australian team member, 2004 Athens Olympic Games, 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games"): "My time spent working with Jurek was a constant learning experience.  He teaches the finer points of mental preparation, tactical and technical mastery; he’s the ideal coach and manager, and has achieved an elite level in all that is required in preparing an expert table tennis player from the foundations to world class level. All that I learnt from Jurek is still being integrated into my sport and everyday life, and will forever be an asset. Thank you."

Anna Januszyk (Champion of Poland, multi-medalist in Polish and European championships in all age categories the lawyer): „Always when I attended or observed training session led by Jerzy Grycan, I had the impression, that everything from the beginning to the end of the session was carefully prepared, organized and had the meaning… and that atmosphere of work and focus”.

Russell Lavale (Oceania Champion, competed in 3 Olympic Games – Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2006; and won 3 National singles titles – 1999, 2000 and 2004; manager): During my time working with Jurek Grycan in Melbourne, Australia from 1996-1998, I not only learned  a lot about table tennis but also developed other areas of my life. Jurek is undoubtedly one of the  best coaches I have trained under. His tactical awareness, holistic mental training approach and totally professional attitude makes him what I call a table tennis pioneer. Whilst training under Jurek it was only a matter of when and not if I made some dramatic improvements to my game. We worked extremely hard and I was lucky enough to establish a personal friendship with Jurek for which I am forever grateful. I knew the rewards would be there if I just continued to listen to his words of wisdom. He taught me to believe in myself and to have no fear when competing on the International scene”.

Xu Kai (Junior champion of China, many times team champion of Poland, national coach of Poland): „In 2003-2004 I worked in the national coaching team as one of the assistant coaches of Jurek Grycan. Jurek, as the head coach, presented excellent management skills, he worked with long-term and clear vision, our training plan was always well prepared, technical and tactical requirements were always discussed in details, whole work was carefully planned”.
