General
ABLE-BODIED TABLE TENNIS
He has played able-bodied table tennis at international level. In 2019 he decided to end his involvement with the Polish national able-bodied team due to problems with his ankle, but he continued to play in able-bodied competition representing AZS AWFiS Gdansk in the Polish Superliga. "I gave up playing in the [able-bodied] national team because I did not want to waste space for other players. It was likely that I would either retire or forfeit matches. Playing in the Superliga is less demanding. Two or three hours of training a day is enough for me to maintain the required level." (interia.pl, 18 Aug 2019; azs.pl, 19 May 2020)

COACHING
He is a coach at the AZS AWFiS Gdansk club in Poland. (azs.pl, 19 May 2020)
