Figure skater Eremenko explained why he does not consider himself a coach

Russian figure skater Igor Eremenko who teamed up with Annabel Morozov, opened up about how he feels about becoming a coach and whether he enjoys the job.

Morozov and Eremenko teamed up this offseason, they began training in the United States under Nikolai Morozov. Annabelle’s former partner was David Narizhny, with whom they won two rounds of the Russian Grand Prix last season. Eremenko has skated with Sofia Shevchenko before.

“I feel good where I don’t waste myself. Where work gives pleasure, where there is a favorite thing, there are people with whom I like to communicate, there is a perspective.

I have always treated the prospect of purely coaching work with some skepticism. In my opinion, it is not so much a profession as a vocation. In other words, there is no equal sign between the concepts of “good athlete” and “good coach”. Yes, it was interesting for me to work with the guys, to come up with something, to put something in, but in the long run I never wanted to fully enter the coaching profession, quotes RT Eremenko.
