A bit about Fil

I grew up in Warsaw, Poland. My passion for sport started at a young age with mountain and downhill biking. Despite many injuries, I loved the challenge and excitement of tackling tough courses. During this time, I realised that supplementing the sport with additional gym training allowed my performance to peak. I found this fascinating, and it ultimately led me to a career as a personal trainer and later as a CrossFit coach. Joining the RedPill Mentorship was the next step. Over the following years as a RedPill coach, I had the opportunity to work with an incredible variety of athletes: travelling internationally to support them at competitions, organising training camps, peaking elite athletes, working with the adaptive community, and providing movement assessments and programmes for anyone ready to work.

Over the years, I realised that training is a place where different stories, backgrounds and abilities come together through shared effort. It helps us find belonging and brings us closer by showing up for one another.

And why coaching?

I’ve always considered being helpful to someone as a great privilege. Add to this a mixture of great joy in observing and analysing, and it seemed like a natural choice. 

Building a relationship and supporting athletes of any level to achieve their goals is as rewarding and fun as it is humbling and challenging.

What are your values as a coach?

All my successful relationships boil down to trust and empathy. A willingness to understand the athlete beyond their sporting role and to see them in their entirety is my most useful tool. They drive the process and set the direction. My job is to provide the means to get where they want to go. This creates genuine commitment, engagement and honesty, forming an empowering environment for both of us.

What do you hope your future as a coach will look like?

I plan to continue working with athletes across different disciplines and levels, building an environment that supports meaningful growth. I want my coaching to continually evolve through ongoing learning, inviting diverse perspectives, and deepening my understanding of the people and environments I work with. I aim to organise training camps and experiences that bring athletes together, and to contribute further to the educational side of coaching by sharing my experience. 

Above all, I want to hone curiosity and keep expanding the tools I bring to the coaching process.
