Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Eteri Tutberidze shared his opinion on the end of the season. She also spoke about the mood of the athletes, who this season played only in Russian tournaments.

“We coach-teachers understand that our athletes are equal to us. It’s like in a family – if something suddenly happens, the child always watches the parent’s reaction to understand how scary it is. Of course , we try to maintain the level of motivation, not to show that we are deprived of something, and continue to work.

Enbert: “I have never met such love for figure skating as Tuktamysheva”

Now, there is a lot of talk about motivation problems in athletes, but it’s not easy for coaches either. Do not add joy and subjective things, psychological pressure – a lot of dirt is poured against our team. It is not easy to create masterpieces in such an environment. But we are like a family – we live it and experience it together, take responsibility together, help an athlete if he wants to play sports. We haven’t abandoned anyone,” Tutberidze was quoted as saying by TASS.
