I'm an ACM ICPC coach at KTH and I'm also coaching some members of the Swedish IOI team. Before coming to Sweden, I was a member of the National Commitee of Slovak Olympiad in Informatics where I was also training students and organizing contests. I have organized IPSC since 2005, NCPC since 2011 (I was the head of jury from 2013 to 2015), NWERC 2010-2015 (except 2012) and [KTH Challenge](http://challenge.csc.kth.se/) since 2011.\n\nAs for my achievements, probably the most valuable one is bronze medal from ACM ICPC 2010. The second would be achieving maximum [rating 2676](http://community.topcoder.com/tc?module=MemberProfile\u0026cr=14769155) on TopCoder.\n\n### Contact \u003ca id=\"contact\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\nI am not a certified ''programming coach'', neither do I have a formal education in psychology and a lot of this advice is based on personal experience and anecdotes, so I expect some of my statements to be wrong.
