Double Russian junior champion Daniel Samsonov told that the reason for his unstable performances this season was psychology.
Samsonov won bronze at the Grand Prix stage, took 5th place at the Russian Championship and 8th at the Spartakiad of the Strongest.
— What are you not satisfied with (this season)?
— I am not satisfied with my instability, because I understand that I can do anything. The three-quad skate showed that. So far, I’m having a hard time getting through my head, psychologically. The training is not so bad and I get good performances more often. When I go to the start, everything seems completely different. I’m starting to get nervous. During the team tournament I tried to correct this situation and it seemed to work.
— Would you like to change something?
— I wouldn’t change anything this season, because it’s a new experience and a new lesson for me. This is my first full season at senior level. It’s good that everything happened like this. “I was able to enter the top 5 at the Russian Championship,” Samsonov told .
