ABOUT ME

I was born on March 20th, 1988 in Oświęcim, Poland. I started my figure skating carrer in 1995 when I was 7. My mom wanted my brother learn how to skate. We all went together. The lifelong experience never stoped since then. I am a 6-time Polish National Champion. 5 of the titles were with my skating partner Krystyna Klimczak. Togheter we competed at three ISU World Junior Championships, one ISU European Championships and one ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. I must say that during my carrer I had a pleasure working with World's best figure skating coaches: Iwona Mydlarz-Chruścińska, Sarkis Tewanian, Nina Mozer, Richard Gauthier, Stanislav Leonovich and Andrey Bushkov. Their best skaters include Olympic, World and European Champions.

I retired from competitive skating in 2013 and it was natural for me to become a coach. I wanted to share my experience with the young adepts of skating. I started this route in June 2010 in USA at famous Ice Castle by leading numerous classes during their summer camp. I liked it, and the kids liked it even more. After a promising start I moved to Bangkok, Thailand, where I had a chance to start my first skating project by myself. After over a year, my name spreaded over Asia and I was introduced to Jakarta, Indonesia for a 3 months period as a guest coach.

After almost 5 years of travelling outside Europe I've decided I want to come back to my home continent. In August 2015 I took a Head Coach position at IF Castor Figure Skating Club in Östersund, Sweden. Here, every February we run our annual international competition Castor Cup (part of NUS - Nordic Youth Games), where skaters from all around the world are welcomed as well as our popular IF Castor International Summer Camp in July (week 29, every year).

The rink ice arena

"I have known Mr. Karweta professionally as a figure skating coach. At "The Rink Ice Arena" he was responsible for leading private and group classes for our skaters. During his employment at our facility he developed many summer and winter camps for the skaters. He has also done numerous of ice show performances and was a main choreographer of Opening Ceremony at 2013 Skate Asia. Based on his student's achievements, attendance and class participation, I'd rate his coaching skills as exceptional.

Mr. Karweta has a number of strenghts to offer an employer. He is always interested in helping others and is very passionate to the sport of figure skating. Thanks to Mr. Karweta, our skaters have had a great chance to improve their skating. He definitely has a big knowledge in sport.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend Mr. Janusz Karweta. He will be an extremely positive additon to any ice rink, figure skating club, organization or association."

"Mr. Janusz Karweta was coaching in Indonesia for our Ice Skating Community for 3 months in 2014. He is a tireless worker and a great team player amongst our local coaches. He stresses fundamentals and basic of figure skating the "right way" and as result his high level students gain lots of improvement by understanding more about basic skating. He is a also creative and understanding coach and everyone have "fun" during the lesson and practice sessions with him. During his 3 months coaching here, we can really see significantly the improvement of our skater's quality of skating.

In my position as Head of Indonesia Ice Skating Commission, I would endorse him to any association, ice rink managers and clubs."

Frank Carroll

"I am writing this letter in support of Janusz Karweta and his extraordinary abilities in the sport of figure skating. It is professional pleasue knowing and witnessing Mr. Karweta pursuit of greatness.

Having known Janusz for 2,5 years, he has demonstrated the ability and personal fortitude needed to become one of the world's top figure skaters. Janusz exhibits a relentless passion for the sport, spending 4 hours one the ice, 3 hours off the ice practicing lifts, jumps and moves and additional time at the gym, daily. As I watch him train at Ice Castle, it is clear to see that he has a true love of the sport, always pushing for perfection with a positive attitude. I understand that Janusz is a 6-time National Champion, but he has express his desire and demonstration to achieve the ultimate goal of reaching the Olympic Games' podium.

Please accept this letter as my highest recommendation for Mr. Janusz Karweta"

"I want to give my support to Mr. Janusz Karweta, a world-renowned athlete in the sport of figure skating.

In addition, his value as a skater in figure skating community cannot be overstated. My knowledge of Mr. Karweta come from observation of his skating, practicing at Ice Castle in Lake Arrowhead, California. My opinion is from professional standpoint and not from any personal relationship.

My considered opinion, therefore is that Mr. Janusz Karweta is an outstanding skater who holds promise for increasing accomplishments in international figure skating, and I accord him my highest respect and enthusiastic recommendation"

"I am writting this letter in support of the Polish figure skater Janusz Karweta. After meeting Janusz at the Ice Castle International Skating Center and watching him train over few years it is evident that he possesses extraordinary skills on the ice.

Since being introduced in 2010 I have enjoyed getting know Janusz during our many conversations between practice sessions. Since meeting Janusz he has demonstrated passion and skills that separete an outstanding athlete from the rest. I have enourmous respect for his skating and believe him to be one of the best skaters hailing from Poland. His moves during practice on and off the ice are very strong and passionate, but he keeps practicing, always trying to improve his movements and reach perfection.

It is without hesitation that I offer him my highest recommendation"
