Welcome the campers for the first UFFO Survival Camp 2017

The pilot survival camp in Poland is being done for the first time in a format that will be presented this year. Our participants will join in the same place and facilities the players camp GetBetter. This referees camp is special, as it will be very targeted on individual progress and therefore the planned group of campers is small, so everyone can get very special, individual attention while practicing with the instructors.

There will be 7 referees: Asimina from England, Veronika from Slovakia and Hande from Turkey and 4 gentlemen from Poland: Jan, Bartosz, Tomasz and Adam. Give a warm welcome to all of them, as there is a hard work ahead for the whole week!

Veronika

Here is some of them sharing shortly some information about themselves:

As for the information about myself, I am a young ambitious referee, I love basketball, meeting new, people and learning new things, which is also the reason why I signed up for this camp – to improve my performance, gain new experience and get to know more amazing people 🙂 – Veronika Malčeková

Hande Öztürk was born in 1990 in Turkey and started to officiate in 2009. Currently she is a referee on national level and 3×3 FIBA referee. Whenever she has time she works as a lawyer. Hande joins the survival camp because she would like to improve herself prior to the season and get the best out of off-season.

Jan Kowalewicz

Jan Kowalewicz – Self-employed graduate of Poznań University of Economics. Announcer and basketball referee with international experience. Sports passionate with long-term practice gained by working in basketball clubs and students organizations. Sociable, organized and open minded fan of new technologies. „I signed in for the Survival Camp because I am on my way back to good health after the surgery and I am sure that coaches from Camp will help me to make it real.” said Jan.

Bartosz Koralewski was born in 1984 in Kielce, Poland. He lives in Warsaw since 2007. Join Regional Division in 2009. Second/Third Division in 2015. Bartek works as Sound engeneer in dubbing, voiceocer studio. He is now coming back to officiating after leg injury. Why Referee camp? – we asked Bartek. He said: „Simply, get better! Phisically, teoretically and mentally. If you don’t wanna be better and get to improve yourself you are taking a step back. Also I want to come back to phisically condition after leg injury.

Tomasz LangowskiWhen I was 9 years old my Mom, who used to be a semi-professional basketball player in women’s top league, encouraged me to start training basketball and its been a huge part of my life ever since. I’ve been officiating for 6 years, 4 years on a national level, currently in men’s 1st division. Loving every moment of the officiating experience and looking forward to meet all of you! Signed in for a camp because I loved the idea of more individual approach to each camper. – Tomasz Langowski

Mental GETBETTER

We know that working on your own development it like fulfilling your hunger. You need to eat regularly!

If you think, that one training with us will change your game and your life, then you are wrong… you are not in such a place!

Let’s be honest. Only hard and regular work brings effects.

Statement #1

People using help from others achieve more from life in shorter time. Most likely the best sportsmen in the world always have group of people around themselves.

Statement #2

You need 2 minutes for the coach to pass you the information and explain what will you learn.

You need 2 weeks, to comfortably do it at the practice.

You need 2 months, to start using it during the game.

Break beetwen end of the season and beginning of new one is usually 3 months on avarage. In this time period you have an opportunity to learn at least 6 new moves, tricks, technics, which you will use during new season.

Statement #3

Being methodical, regular and persistent needs a lot of work, but leads to effects. You can not build your dream body if you practice once a month at the gym, the same you will never develop your skills, if you practice not regular and few times. Big things need thousands hours of practice and repeats this one activity till perfection.

Piotr and Kuba as instructors – will you survive?

I am pleased to announce the instructors of the first time ever in history survival camp for referees – UFFO Survival Camp 2017, that will take place 17-21 July in Jezierzyce, Poland.
It is not only about the physical preparation at all. This camp is about the individual work with each referee that will be tailored to his/her needs. Everyone has different moves, reflex, habits, customs of behaviour. While officiating you need to look in the right place, move properly, go where you need to go to see correctly play you observe. You need to make right signals in the proper way. All this will be practiced, togehter with body language adequate for each referee and to the moment of the game. Believe me you will be tired at the end of the week. 🙂

With this excercises we will have support from the top league – Piotr Pastusiak and Kuba Zamojski. None of them I need to introduce as you know them pretty well, specially Kuba. But few words of career highlights, just to remember that this people train the same like you to achieve their goals and dreams and to be where they are now.
On top ofyou will also be trained by the coaches and trainers from the Get Better camp (getbetter.pl), who are working with the top league players for their physical preparation to the season, but also in a new way. Very physical way, but with a completely new approach. For details check getbetter.pl and follow referee.pl – article coming soon.
