The head coach of the youth national team about continental championship
-- For you as the instructor of the national team – the European championship in Macedonia was the first international start. How feel in new quality?
- To act independently and to be the coach of the team are absolutely different things Here and responsibility is more and naturally very much worry about children.
- The role of the trainer in success of young athletes is how important?
- My first trainer remained in Ossetia. In Ukraine me trained Ruslan Savlokhov and Ignat Grek. They very strongly supported me. And I always listened to their manuals. I noticed that some athletes ignore councils of the trainer and it affects results. And after all the trainer bad will not wish anything to you. After all it leaves on a carpet as much nerves, how many and the athlete. To opinion of the trainer it is necessary to listen. Proceeding from own experience, I will tell that the victory for 50% depends on the trainer. The good trainer correctly brings to competitions, gives necessary helps at the difficult moment. Besides he has to be also a psychologist - and to adjust only on a victory. Me surprises when some the trainer speak to the wards "you the first time left, you can lose". I consider that if you got chance to act, has to be adjusted only on a victory. Ukraine – the smith of champions. We have many strong wrestlers and other countries know about it. They are afraid of the Ukrainian athletes. Even if your rival stronger or is more skilled, you have to believe that will be able to win against the best. Otherwise the result will not be. It is necessary to leave and show the character.
- With whom you should work, see potential in our juniors?
- In Ukraine now youth very good. I saw it on the first winter collecting in Zaroslyak. With them it is just necessary to work much and on tournaments to carry more often, it is more collecting to do and then they will grow. It is very important to connect them to collecting adult team. That they saw leading athletes and followed them an example, studied as it is necessary to work in a hall.
- Juniors – transitional category and many leave big-time sports. How consider how it is possible to hold perspective children?
- Some without having shown results on youth, break and give up wrestling. But here all depends only on the person. If it has a purpose, to become the Olympic champion, the world champion, Europe - that it is impossible to stop. Even if lost on youth. Any participation in tournament adds confidence and experience. Here for example Oganesyan Gore, he now became the champion of Europe and it already has a purpose. It conquered youth top, now wants to train even more to win on adults.
- As far as our children had serious opponents in Macedonia?
- Oganesyan Gore had difficult opponents. The first meeting was with weak, and then there was a Bulgarian good. But he stood on hind legs, pressed and despite of everything very surely won. Then there was an Azerbaijanian, the last year's champion of Europe, but Mountains surely won. I received very great pleasure from its wrestling.
- Now it is should ask about new rules. As far as they recovered the championship?
- Old rules were made under foreigners, under those countries where wrestling isn't especially developed. That they got in prize-winners and diversified geography. What is two minutes? I became in a defense and you do nothing and to the opponent of nothing you allow to make, and then you pull a counter … Simply clownery. Or I pushed out for a circle and give a ball, directly, as in sumo … And now for passivity punish and wrestling became more dynamic. Nobody stands still. Very much it to be pleasant to me.
- Whom you will carry on the youth World Cup?
- Now I can't call final structure yet. But to Europe I still had thoughts, for example in 60 kg of the story on the world the second number, but now I can't but move Oganesyan. Now on lifting, it has it spirit and it is torn to a carpet. And to 96 kg and 120 kg I will carry prize-winners of Europe. And in other scales I will think still. I don't want to take tourists, it is simple in order that they went and participated. Some children who went on the European championship, I am very dissatisfied. They received equipment, and will say then that went to Europe. But they had no purpose to win a medal. And here those three who won medals – they pleased. It was visible that they left and battled. If wrestlers in other categories acted normally, Ukraine in a team competition would be not the sixth, and somewhere in the three. Three or four athletes didn't give in the general moneybox of any point. Therefore now in Alushta on collecting I will look and I will carry the one who will be in the best kit. There are such children who houses wrestling well, and outside the country – are lost. At us they are called by "house tigers". And is such who in Ukraine to become the third, but as the abroad acts very well.
- And, who from children is already ready to act on an adult carpet?
- While they crude for an adult carpet, too young. I wouldn't force them. It isn't necessary to advance time, let everything take its course. They still have a year - two. They will show when will be ready. Adult wrestling another, them there can break psychologically and they won't be able to act then any more. Therefore I for that while to reserve them. We good also have a youth substitute by the adult. To the Olympic Games three more years also think some of them, will surely get to Brazil.
