ATLANTA — Graduate student Patrycja Zielinska breaks new ground as she has signed a professional contract to continue her volleyball career. Volleyball has been a calling that led her from a small town in Poland to the heart of Atlanta, and now to the professional stage in Switzerland.
Zielinska's journey began when she was just 10 years old in her hometown of Swidnik, Poland. Enrolled in a specialized sports class, she quickly discovered a passion for volleyball that would shape the rest of her life.
"What started as just something fun to do with friends became a responsibility, and then a passion," she said.
