SUPPORT. "Young Birds": A Flight to Gold Under the Coach’s Wing
A strong country begins with strong people.
But we rarely consider who shapes their character, helps them withstand the weight of expectations, and stay focused on achieving their dreams.
In the new episode of the "OPORA" project, we hear from Ivan Gaponenko, coach of the Olympic artistic gymnastics team, who mentors future champions.
Many still think that gymnastics is primarily about pain, pressure, and strict discipline. But in this episode, Ivan will show the other side: how to develop champions without yelling, how to build a system of trust, respect, and conscious responsibility. This conversation isn't just about sports, but about how a coach's wisdom manifests itself in the choice: to be strict or supportive, demanding or attentive.
"Young Birds: Flight to Gold Under a Coach's Wing" is a story about how children grow up to carry not only medals but also a responsibility to themselves, their families, and their country.
