Career

Balsam started playing as a kid in Bellator Ryjewo. She transferred to top flight team in 2015^[4], where she was loaned to Sambor Tczew for three months.^[5]^[4]

She played there for four seasons, before switching to fellow polish top flight team JKS Jarosław in 2019.^[6]^[7] In her first season at the club she scored 132 goals in 20 matches, making her the second most scored player in that league season. This prompted a move to league rivals MKS Lublin the following season,^[8] but she returned to JKS Jarosław after only a season in Lublin.^[9]

In the 2022/2023 season she joined German Bundesliga side TuS Metzingen.^[10] Here she would again only stay for a season before rejoining MKS Lublin for the second time for the 2023/2024 season.^[11]

Balsam debuted for the Polish national team in March 2017 in a match against Belarus.^[12]
