Alexander Vladimirovich was a strict but effective Taekwondo coach in Moscow who helped his young student, Olekhova Darya, improve her skills and achieve competition success. Through demanding training techniques like making the students stand on their fists as punishment, he helped Darya build strong arms and an athletic physique. Under his coaching, Darya earned bronze and silver medals in competitions and developed fond memories of her two years studying Taekwondo with Alexander, whose last name remained a secret.

1. My Сoach
A coach is someone who can give
correction without causing resentment.
John Wooden.
Olekhova Darya, 11 “A”.

2. 
Russia is a very sporty country. The most of
Russians have tried some kind of sport, and
many of them are sportsmen. But everything
begins with a coach…

3.  When
I lived in Moscow, I did Taekwondo for
two years. We had a large group of young
athletes, but there was only one girl: me.

4. I
had the best coach of
Taekwondo. His name
is Alexander
Vladidirovich, and I
don't know his last
name, because
nobody of us knew it. It
was his secret.

5.  When
somebody of us wanted to go out,
our coach said to the others stand on the
fists, and we had to stand so, until he
returned. So now I have strong arms thanks
to my coach.

6.  Also
I have two competition medals, bronze
and silver. I am fit and healthy.

7.  And
the main thing is: I have wonderful
moments of these two years, which I will
never forget.
 Thank
you, Alexander Vladimirovich!
