With healthy lifestyle and sports promoting at youth Greco-Roman wrestling again returns itself popularity among inhabitants of Volgograd. Wishing to be engaged in Greco-Roman wrestling every year more and more. About what qualities should be possessed to achieve sports heights, and also whether Volgograd on good wrestlers is rich, we learned from the Greco-Roman wrestling coach, the master of sports Alexander Sandirov

Now almost fall, tell, at you the set in group already opened?

Yes, since September 2nd we begin a set of boys of 6-9 years in group of initial preparation. Many are excited by a cost question therefore I report at once that occupations free as we work at school of the Olympic reserve.

And where you train, what conditions?

We train for a long time in Sports palace of labor unions. Trainings at beginners will take place in the same place, on the third floor. At first on 2 times a week: Tuesday and Thursday with 15:00 till 16:30.

It was a few years ago impossible to register in Greco-Roman wrestling section because of too large number wishing to be engaged. How are you are today?

Now Greco-Roman wrestling in the Volgograd region again grows. There is a lot of reasons for that: started employing young ambitious trainers, healthy lifestyle promotion as a whole and wrestling in particular on social networks, translation of large tournaments on television, on the Internet, etc. Plus to everything, on a hand played the scandal connected with possibility of an exception of wrestling from the program of Olympic Games of 2020. This danger for the sake of appearances sports gave a strong impetus to Greco-Roman wrestling promoting.

In Volgograd, at your look, there are now wrestlers who can adequately represent the city at the Russian and international competitions?

At present in the field of many perspective athletes of different age. It is pleasant that on one carpet beginners and the skilled athletes being winners and prize-winners of superiority of Russia, the international tournaments train. Children try to equal on seniors, seniors help children, prompt, pass on experience, so to speak. I think that it is more correct, than to be engaged in different halls.

 What can you tell young athletes who only started being engaged? How to achieve success in this sport?

About physical and personal qualities I can tell one: if the person has character, a core, he in wrestling can achieve very big heights. Physical standards, equipment, tactics – business acquirable. It is a headache of the trainer. But if at the heart of it there is no wrestling character, about any high achievements of speech doesn't go. On the other hand, parents very often hang up a label on the child, for example: "Here, my son has a weak character". When to the son, excuse, years 18 already – business one. And when to it from 6 to 14, it is necessary to temper character, to bring up. The wrestling hall, often, perfectly copes with it.
