Former Russian national basketball player Victor Keyru told that the coach David Blat always knew how to transform the team’s weaknesses into strengths.
Blatt turned 65 on Wednesday. He led the Russian national basketball team from 2006 to 2012. During this time, Blatt won the European Championship (2007) and Olympic bronze (2012) with the team.
“I wish David all the best.” Above all, health! This is the most important thing now. I wish him human happiness and enjoy life. I didn’t work much with David, but I was on the Olympic team and was called up to the national team for other tournaments. He is an excellent specialist, a person of unconventional thinking, who was able to find advantages in any sports situation. This sets him apart from other coaches. Blatt knew how to turn the team’s weaknesses into strengths, which he proved by working not only in the Russian national team, but also in European clubs and in the NBA.
His contribution to Russian basketball cannot be overestimated. He led the Russian national team to the main successes in its recent history – gold at the European Championship and bronze at the 2012 Olympic Games. This says a lot.
— It is said that Blatt knew how to find an approach to any player and find a use for him on the field.
— When I said he knows how to turn weaknesses into strengths, that doesn’t directly apply to the players, but reflects his creative thinking. “David was really able to reveal the strengths of basketball players, which is confirmed by the results of the Russian national team under his command,” Keiro told .
