Life with Coach Pop
In 1982, while at an international competition in West Germany, national Olympic weightlifting coach, István Javorek defected, leaving behind his wife and only daughter in a country still under the control of the Ceausescu dictatorship. Separated for over two and a half years, the family was reunited in the United States. Seven months after coming to the US, Henriette Javorek, then 12 years old, wrote a little novella that traced her family’s journey from Transylvania to Texas and depicted with great naiveté and emotion the dramatic events and hardships surrounding this turning point in her life.
We Fade To Green
When Margit’s Transylvanian grandparents no longer manage to live on their own, they move in with their daughter and her family in the US. Throw in three kids of different ages and a black cat, and you might think you’ve figured out the story.

- Coach Pop Nézetei 2023 ElejénWritten by István Javorek
Soha nem tettem Új évi fogadalmakat, hiszen számomra nincs újra kezdődő év, csak a folytatása, amit az előző évben elkezdtem. Például most, próbálok segíteni a falukban élő Hargita megyei székely gyerekeknek, akik a jéghoki sportot választották kedvenc sportjuknak. Megfelelő erőnléti edzés tervekkel és tanácsokkal segítem őket. Igy elvállaltam a Gyergyószéki és Csikszéki Jég-Vi-Har (Jégkorongozó – Vidéki Hargita) iskolás jégkorong csapatok edzőinek a mentorálását erő és kondicionálásban. Emocionálisan teljesen a…
- Happy Places Change
Written by Henriette J. RunteI sat at a small desk at the window, and even though it was late at night, I could still see out into the dunes, lit up by the moon and the star-studded sky. When I stepped outside for some fresh air, I could hear the roaring of the sea and the whistling wind. If I took a few more steps, I could sit on a small wooden bench and even see the sea with its white, majestic waves tickling the beach in its vastness.
