Anna Kárász – World Champion Kayaker

Introduction
Her first club was Dunaferr Sports Association, where her coaches József Czere and Iván Antal, along with her father, instilled in her a love for kayaking and taught her how to set goals and achieve them. They encouraged her persistence and diligence, which later bore fruit. In the spring of 2007, she joined András Hubik's group (Dunaferr), and by autumn, she made it into the youth national team. In 2010, she was admitted to the Business and Management program at the University of Szeged, continuing her career under the guidance of László Kovács, whom she found to be an excellent coach both personally and professionally. At the club, she was able to learn from the techniques of Olympic champion Natasa Janics. From the foundation period starting at the end of 2013, coach Krisztián Tokár also joined her preparation and training.

Szeged Water Polo School

Szeged Water Polo School

Introduction
The Szeged Water Polo School was founded in 1999 by Károly Lihótzky, with the primary goal of organized youth water polo training. Károly Lihótzky, who also served as the association's president, was a defining figure in Hungarian water polo sport. Previously an excellent player himself, he later raised generations of water polo players in Szeged. He was a strict, consistent person blessed with a good pedagogical sense, the discoverer and mentor of several of our Olympic champions. The Hungarian Water Polo Association recognizes Károly Lihótzky as one of its master coaches. Notable students of Károly Lihótzky include Rajmund Fodor, Dr. Tamás Molnár, György Király, Csaba Kiss, Gábor Lengyel, Károly Lihótzky Jr., and Dr. Péter Mód. In addition, he was the coach for numerous players in the adult division I (Dr. István Horváth, István Csapó, Dr. László Bolya, Péter Csörgő, etc.). In 1997, as the coach of the youth national team, his team became European champions. Young players trained in Szeged hold their own in adult teams, and Szeged players are regularly invited to different age-group national teams.
Achievements
Hungary's top-tier sport is as integral a part of the country's image as its science or art. Since February 1, 1999, the Association has been a non-profit sports association dealing with youth water polo training. It is a member of the Hungarian Water Polo Association with independent voting rights and the official youth base of the Szeged Beton Water Polo Association. The primary goal of the Association is youth development, but it also provides opportunities for young people in Szeged for regular sports, useful leisure time, and the development and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, we consider it a key task to preserve the traditions of water polo in Szeged, popularize the sport, ensure its future, and raise trained players for the first-division team and national teams of various age groups.
