ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Lukasz Zygadlo

I am a professional volleyball player with years of experience gained while playing for 18 clubs in 7 different countries. My volleyball journey began in Poland and then expanded to other countries and continents. During this extraordinary journey, I had the opportunity to experience various cultures, which allowed me to grow not only as an athlete but also as a person.

I graduated from the Częstochowa University of Technology, which also enriched my knowledge and skills. Along the way, I fulfilled one of my biggest dreams - representing Poland at the Olympic Games in London in 2012. I proudly represented Poland in 247 matches, winning many medals. My club successes include National Championships, Cups, Champions League, Asian Championships, and Club World Championships. In 2006, I received the Gold Cross of Merit for sporting achievements. I am also an Honorary Citizen of Trento, Italy.

This incredible journey made me realize that life is not only about achievements but, above all, valuable experiences gained along the way. I met many valuable people who inspired me and helped me grow, and I discovered fascinating places that left indelible memories in me.

Simultaneously with my sports career, I developed other interests. I became an AIS Sommelier Italia and also learned to program web applications to better understand the world of technology and create technological solutions better suited to the needs of the sports world.

I'm eager to share my knowledge and experiences to inspire and motivate others in pursuing their dreams and uncovering life's hidden opportunities. If my story resonates with you and you're interested in collaborating, feel free to reach out. Let's embark on this journey together, exploring the valuable experiences life has to offer.
