You can congratulate me! For goodbye to your favorite thing and starting a new chapter is not easy, but infinitely interesting! Why is everything so radical? Throughout life, priorities are changing, new interests wake up, which I want to devote more time. A large sport takes this valuable resource, so I weighed all the pros and cons and decided to start a new stage this year. Indeed, in Italy you had an ideal symbiosis and arranged absolutely everything: the city is close to your liking and energy, the atmosphere in the team ...

- my thoughts were different, I have been in sports for more than 20 years, and, of course, in one day or season everything can’t be deleted! Judging by the physical state, I know that I could still play and be useful volleyball, but our life is much wider than 9 meters of the site, and my desires lead me on! But I am sure that if I played in Russia, everything would have turned out just as sincerely.

A great interview with Kosheleva about life in Italy: “I did not run from anyone. In Italy, it’s more comfortable for me. ” Our volleyball player - a star in Europe - you already had a similar situation, with the same uncompromising decision when you announced after the League of Nations that you would not go to the Olympic Games in Tokyo. We can say that the upbringing in the military family affects, where you always need a clear choice?

I have a rule: you want changes - act, the tail is cut off immediately, and not in pieces. I do not exclude that I can make a mistake, but how do I find out about it if I do not try? Therefore, relatives supported and wished new successes. I did not ask for advice, I am making decisions in my life myself and I am responsible for them! Something interesting is always happening, because I act and deliberately provoke this movement.

This applies not only to sports, I have long gone beyond volleyball! Therefore, it is difficult to highlight some special stage, my whole life is intrigue! After all, everyone was quite serious. How did you manage to not only return, but also show the level that you had before? There are always many revelations leading to progress for difficulties.

Working with a psychologist illuminated some individual features, I received answers to questions that bothered me at some point in my life.

Then it was not as common as now, but I always seek my way, and not live as it is customary. I felt that injuries were not just a combination of circumstances, but a conversation with me. I did not want to look for excuses, I wanted to find the reason, and they helped me in this. Or is it an individual and personal matter? The volleyball season is almost a whole year of the athlete’s life, often far from loved ones, in a dense schedule of games and training.

So that the work does not become a routine, it is important not only to pump muscles, but also to develop mental stability. Moreover, the club can not only help the athlete increase motivation, he can immerse it in the culture of the country and the region, make it part of a great idea so that the player can liberate and reach a new level.

Tatyana Kosheleva Photo: RIA Novosti - in the cap of your profile there is the words "Freedom to be yourself - this is a superlace that I take away every day." What does it mean to you? As soon as I allowed myself any, try new things, look, stumble, as soon as I learned to live not only positive, but also negative emotions, my condition has changed! This does not mean that now I swear with people, scream and cry at any opportunity, it means that I accept that part of myself that can scream and swear, and when you do not deny it, this no longer controls you!
