Łukasz Kadziewicz (born 20 September 1980), is a Polish volleyball player, a member of Poland men's national volleyball team in 2001-2009, a participant of the Olympic Games (Athens 2004, Beijing 2008), a silver medalist of the 2006 World Championship.
Personal life
Łukasz Kadziewicz was born in Dobre Miasto, Poland. He was married to Kamilla. Their daughter Amelia was born on March 21, 2006. Łukasz and Kamilla were divorced in 2008. He is married, for a second time, to Barbara (née Gołąb).
When Łukasz was a member of the Polish national team he created the "Kadziu Project". He filmed videos that showed how the Polish team prepared for matches and their lifestyle during tournaments (for example the Olympics in Beijing, 2008). When Kadziewicz ended his career in the national team, Krzysztof Ignaczak took up his idea, continuing this work under the name "Igłą Szyte". In 2013 Kadziewicz reactivated the "Kadziu Project", but instead of showing life in the national team, he now films interviews with other volleyball players and talks about his thoughts related to volleyball.
Since September 2015 he has been taking part in 17th season of Polish version of Dancing with the Stars. He is partnered with professional dancer Agnieszka Kaczorowska.
