The Polish representative experienced a nightmare. Now he has won a second chance
He will be 24 years old in November 2026, and he has just got a chance in the Polish national team again. Dawid Dulski, because we are talking about him, will gain a “second life” in sports.
Although we should actually write that the player himself won a second chance, looking at the last dozen or so months of his career. For several years, Dawid Dulski has been considered one of the greatest attacking talents in Polish volleyball.
At one point, it even seemed that the 210 cm tall volleyball player would be a direct support for Bartosz Kurek. But then came the terrible 2024/25 season. Dulski was supposed to be one of the leaders of Stal Nysa, but instead, the club from the Opole region turned out to be… the biggest disappointment in PlusLiga. What’s more, Stal finally said goodbye to the competition, and relegation to the PLS 1st League was the worst-case scenario, a nightmare that no one expected. Including Dulski himself.
Nikola Grbic gave Dawid Dulski a second chance. Will the volleyball player use it?
After relegation from PlusLiga, the attacker born in 2002 decided to go beyond Polish borders. The choice fell on the French Nice Volley-Ball, a team that took a solid 5th place in the league competition in the 2024/25 season.
Dulski chose a foreign course, which turned out to be the place he needed. The volleyball player quickly turned out to be the leader of his team, and additionally – taking into account the entire season – one of the best scoring volleyball players in France.
This resulted in the appointment of coach Nikola Grbic to the team. Dulski was already in the Polish national team in the 2023 season. Now he returns, with hopes of playing a bigger role than in his debut campaign.
– I think this trip definitely gave me a lot of self-confidence. The kind of play on the pitch that started to disappear sometime in the season before France. I think it was playing that helped me the most (…) I definitely want to give 100 percent in training, and then we’ll see how much time I actually get on the pitch and how it all goes – admitted the attacker in an interview for Polsat Sport.
It is worth adding that Dulski, in addition to clubs from Nice and Nysa, also played for Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie, Norwid Częstochowa and AZS AGH Kraków.
