On September 21, 2024, Master Mariusz Steckiewicz hosted the “Patterns Peak Performance” Master Class, an event that drew nearly 70 participants from 17 different countries. This unique online seminar brought together Taekwon-Do practitioners, instructors, and coaches, all eager to learn new insights on preparing for competition and improving their pattern performance.
The 2.5-hour session focused on the technical, physical, anatomical, and psychological aspects of performing patterns at the highest level. Topics ranged from technical accuracy and energy efficiency to psychological preparation, such as fostering a “Champion’s Mindset” to excel under pressure. Master Steckiewicz also covered critical topics like periodization, timing one’s peak performance for competitions, and key factors that separate good performances from elite ones.
Participants were highly engaged throughout the seminar, which included practical advice and in-depth discussions on preparing athletes for competitions ranging from local tournaments to world championships. The class concluded with Q&A, providing valuable interaction between Master Steckiewicz and the participants.
The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees praising the structure, content, and delivery of the session. Here are a few highlights from the participants’ feedback:
– “Informative and helpful seminar which I will continue to recommend to all TKD practitioners in the future.”
– “Fantastic seminar! Thank you very much, Master!”
– “This event made me realize so much about preparing yourself or your students for upcoming tournaments. The Champion’s Mindset topic was absolutely amazing.”
– “Master Steckiewicz engages well with his audience and has a lot of experience to share. Hopefully, he can host more technical presentations to continue sharing his knowledge.”
The event also addressed technical challenges, with emphasis on keeping the focus on instruction and minimizing disruptions. Participants valued the balance between theory and practice, as well as the “nuggets of advice” that Master Steckiewicz generously shared throughout the class.
With such encouraging feedback many expressed their eagerness to join future seminars and delve deeper into the techniques discussed.
