One it is allowed to find the favourite profession at once and to devote it all life. Another on it decades are required. But also that, and others are united by one — hobby for work and content when they see result of the work, the honored trainer and the honored worker of physical culture of Russia Nikolay Glazkov considers
— Many years I catch myself on thought: I in life was very lucky on good friends and mentors with which support I could reveal both as the athlete and as the trainer. This is the physical education teacher of Apalkovsky school Vladimir Okhotkin at whom I was engaged in weightlifting, my cousin Alexey Glazkov who has carried away me by sambo, trainers of the sport society "Dynamo" Vitaly Selikhov and Vitaly Simonov. To service in army I participated in regional and All-Russian competitions, in a year having become the sambo wrestler first-rank sportsman — from Glazkov's such introduction and our conversation began.
In the late seventies in the Orel began to cultivate such type of single combat, as judo. Walls of the regional sport society "Manpower reserves" became the center of gravity for beginning judoists. Literally in a week after demobilization from army trainings on a tatami were started also by Nikolay Glazkov. In sambo and judo is much in common therefore special problems and difficulties in development of a new type of single combats at it didn't arise. And later very few time the surname of the judoist Glazkov became known not only on Orel region, but also is far beyond its limits. He became the prize-winner of the All-Russian competitions twice, executed the standard of the candidate for the master of sports of the USSR in judo.
— In what secret of such fast success? . In my opinion, in life any success is paid by work. Dependence here direct and cruel. Plus patience, persistence, obligation and insistence — first of all to itself — after a small pause answers a question Nikolay Alekseevich. — In December, 1979 me appointed to a position of the trainer of "Manpower reserves". It was necessary to train, speak strenuously at the same time at competitions and to be engaged with younger group of boys.
He could achieve in the sports career still a great success and titles, if not a serious trauma. I underwent a difficult operation after which, despite diligence and efforts, it wasn't restored. Doctors rendered a verdict: physical activities are strictly contraindicated therefore it was necessary to forget about competitions. And Eyes concentrated at trainer's work: I studied methodical literature, I looked narrowly at work of the senior colleagues trainers, I registered in advanced training courses and trainer's seminars.
— In Soviet period preparation of trainer's shots treated very seriously. We listened to lectures of trainers known far outside the former Union, doctors and psychologists. It was paid much attention to psychotraining of athletes for competitions and restoration after injuries, failures, overloads. And master classes with us were given by champions and prize-winners of the world and Europe — speaks Glazkov. — And I watched judo and sambo development. If not to water a tree — it will dry up. As and in trainer's, business: with old baggage of knowledge far you won't leave. For years of the work Nikolay Glazkov prepared 17 masters of sports, winners and prize-winners of superiority and national championships, Europe and the world.
As for trainer's skill, Glazkov considers that the main thing in this case — ability to find an individual approach to each pupil.
— Yes, I agree, in a certain measure we work for sports result of the wards. The higher it at them, the is more noticeable a merit of the trainer. In positive sense of the word, certainly. But I is resolute against a pursuit of results at any cost — it is convinced Glazkov. — Children, teenagers — they different. At someone it turns out worse, at someone — it is better, and someone already was born the judoist. But for me it is still very important, whom and what become my pupils when will grow as they will take place as citizens of the country.
Life presents a set of "zigzags" — unforeseen difficulties, temptations and even treachery. It is necessary to be not only healthy and strong physically, but also it is moral. And it is will power, self-confidence, ability to make the correct decisions in extreme situations and honesty. In life as on a tatami: it is necessary to be able to hold the blow, whatever unexpected and strong it was. Such is the basic principle бусидо — the code of Samurais.
To it Glazkov also teaches the pupils.
— I could replace the profession if such opportunity was presented? Unambiguously: no. Everyone has to be on the place and soundly carry out the business which he well knows. In sports, in judo I 33 years. So I am not going to change a profession and a place of work — the trainer surely speaks.
