We, the following parents and other members of the community hereby endorse this petition in support of the Patrik Vician. We have personally observed and interacted with Patrik in and have seen first-hand many positive qualities. He always treats his students and the public with a high degree of professionalism. He is always respectful to his students. He supports the development of students’ tennis skills as well as responsibility and discipline.
Currently Patrik is holding a record long tenure in FCIAC - he started in 2004 as a volunteer coach at Westhill High, was a girl’s varsity coach in 2007-2009 and a boy’s varsity coach in 2010-2019. In 2018 he won the Stamford’s coach of the year award. In 2012-2018 Westhill’s tennis team was winning against top FCIAC tennis teams. Under his watch Westhill High students have won multiple titles such as CT Open Singles Champion, New England Singles Champion, CT LL Doubles Champion, CT Open Doubles Champion and on many more occasions were runner ups in these and many other competitions.
Westhill High student tennis players and parents can attest to his character and professional qualities. Losing him as a coach would be devastating to Westhill High and Stamford communities.
We urge that Patrik continue as the tennis coach at Westhill High School.

The school board is finally feeling the heat because this momentum proves they cannot just push Patrik out. They ignored his stellar record and his service to this community for long enough.

Patrik is a great role model and pushes you to be the greatest. He understands your strengths and weaknesses when on court. He analyzes your moves while playing with your opponent, so that he can give you pointers on how to do better next time.
We would like to see Westhill High School reinstate Patrick as a coach. My son has seen his tennis skills improve tremendously under his guidance, much like many other kids. This isn't about termination of a job, it is about termination of a bond that has taken years to develop.
Patrik is a great coach who devotes the effort to build a tight-knit community among his players. Funny, charismatic, and an exceptional mentor; it would be a disservice to all Westhill tennis players to lose him.
Patrick Vician was the best coach I have had during my 4 years at Westhill. I have played multiple sports, and can 100% say that none of the coaches were as passionate and dedicated as Patrick. Shame on whoever let him go. Good luck finding a better coach that him.
Patrik has always been a great help to me and the whole girls team!! He was like a second coach to us! He helped out when we didn’t have a coach and kept the team together. His addition to the Westhill Athletic Department is a very important one, and if no longer involved, will be a serious loss.
I am a former student of Patrik's and he was an amazing teacher and helped me grow in tennis and in life
(Cheats to win high school tennis match) “It’s just high school tennis!! I play international!! It’s no big deal!!”

Patrik was a tennis coach of my three sons for the last 15 years. He is very dedicated, hard working and responsible person with a passion for sport he shares with his students. Westhill High student tennis players and their parents need Patrik as a coach!
