He has been an active athlete for almost 30 years. First as a player, today as a coach. Piotr Troczyński is currently one of the few Polish wrestling coaches in Norway. He came to the Land of Fjords 12 years ago. Since then, he has been doing an excellent coaching job, as evidenced by the fact that he runs the best wrestling club in all of Norway.

It is worth emphasizing that Piotr Troczynski can boast of many sports successes. He won four Polish Senior Championships. After ending his professional career in 1996, he returned to Trzciel, where he became involved in the activities of the local club "Orlęta". After ten years, he left for Norway, where the Poles coaches and wrestlers they are extremely valued. Our coach shaped players such as Monika Michalikwhich she won bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Rio.

How long have you been a coach?
It will be 22 years in total. Before that, I was also an active athlete. To sum up - my sports activity is almost 30 years.
What is Norwegian youth like?
There is no difference to me. There are talents in both Poland and Norway. In both cases, young players can be directed - as long as they are spoken to and helped. Appropriate rigor must also be kept. If he just lets them go, they will diverge. Both in Poland and in Norway, there are amazing players who give up their sport when they find themselves in a bad environment.

Your best player has stated that he will win the Olympics next year and will want to represent your club.
This is incredibly important to me. My dream is to coach a competitor who will qualify for the Olympic Games. If he manages to achieve this, I will finally go to the most important sports competitions. Not as a player, because those times are gone, but also not as a fan or spectator, but as a coach. I also hope that he will fight for World Championships. This athlete is a recent medalist of the European Championships, so he has great chances for further achievements.
Do we as Radio Wataha Will we be able to show you your full training someday?
I cordially invite you! This year we have already finished training, but we invite you to the next one.
Do you still have space for new recruits?
Always!
What's the best age?
Hard to say. We have a group of 7-8 year olds, but the classes conducted there are more about learning coordination and learning to think independently on the mat than real wrestling. These start, in my opinion, from the age of 11. I would like to emphasize that it is not an art to train a player, but to instill in him a love for this sport.
