Plushenko spoke about plans to open football and tennis academies

Double Olympic figure skating champion Evgeny Plushenko said he plans to open football and tennis academies.

Plushenko has his own figure skating academy, which has been operating since 2017.

Alexander Plushenko, son of the two-time Olympic champion:

— Is it easier to perform on the ice with family?

“I’m always determined to skate well.” I like playing with my dad more, especially with a dad like him. You always have to perform well, with or without your dad. There’s always a little anxiety, you have to overcome it.

– Father – what kind of coach?

“Sometimes he tries to make me angry so he can do better.”

Evgeny Plushenko:

— Yana and I have always dreamed of having children; I have been playing sports for a long time. We thought about where to give it – tennis, golf, but of course we chose figure skating. Sasha is also involved in football, now we are opening a football academy at the academy in August. The school will be joint with BROKE BOYS from the Media League. Sasha also plays tennis well. We are also building a tennis academy. Children should be versatile.

I like to play with my child and watch him. He is doing well, he is great. I am a strict father, Sanya knows that on the ice I am a coach; when you take off your skates, you are a father. Otherwise it will not work. He understands that I am his coach. When the line is crossed, nothing comes of it. He has everything ahead of him. He must show good results.

— Do you behave the same way with other students as you do with Sasha?

— I try to treat everyone equally. There are talented ones, mega-talented ones, we devote more time to them, but these are already peaks. Sometimes I don’t look at Sasha at all, he gets angry, “the correspondent reports, reporting Plushenko’s words.
