Early and personal life
He is from Lublin, Poland.[1] His mother works in a bank, and father, Kamil, ran his own business before moving to part-time work to support his son as snooker coach and manager. Father and son had watched the sport on television together and Michal developed an interest so they started playing snooker together at a local club, when he was six years old. He also likes playing football and chess. He scored his first snooker maximum break in practise at the age of 12.[2][3][4] He uses home education instead of traditional school education to reconcile his student duties and snooker training.[5]
