“I felt the insignificance of sport and life in general.” Biathlete Nigmatullina explained why she turned to a psychologist

Russian biathlete Ulyana Nigmatullina talked about why she started working with a psychologist.

— In one of your interviews, you admitted that you repeatedly turned to psychologists for help. What was your starting point? Inability to independently cope with competitive stress?

– No. Even with excessive anxiety, I never thought I needed outside help. I first turned to a specialist when I felt the absurdity of sports and, accordingly, of my life in general. It was in 2018. I consulted a psychologist for the second time while I was going on maternity leave. I needed to understand how to rebuild myself from sport to civilian life.

—Was it so difficult?

– Very. This probably happens because your entire previous life was spent in a certain mode for years and you simply don’t know or know how to do anything else.

– Well, are you able to fry eggs?

– Yes. I didn’t stay at home when I went on maternity leave, I continued to study at university. And I still felt how difficult it was to rebuild,” quotes Nigmatullina. RT .

From September 16 to 19, the Alfa-Bank Russian Summer Biathlon Championship will take place in Tyumen. All races will be broadcast live on the channel and broadcasts will also be available on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
