Olympic medalist swimmer Kliment Kolesnikov explained what qualities a professional athlete should have.
On Saturday, in the conference room of the Gazprom pavilion, Kolesnikov spoke with young swimmers and their coaches from Saransk about sports and personal development opportunities promoted by the Gazprom program for children.
— An athlete needs patience. It’s very difficult to endure and combine training and everything else. Discipline is essential. You won’t be able to do anything without it. Willpower is absolutely necessary. So you don’t get stuck on your phone in the evening, but get quality sleep and recover before your next workout. Mental strength in general. But it is not a quality that develops. It probably has more to do with patience.
If you are determined to get involved professionally and love this sport, then you will dedicate a lot of time to it. And everything else comes by itself, because you will understand what you need. This is where patience, discipline and everything else comes from. If you like it, you will sacrifice something,” reports correspondent Kolesnikov.
