Coach Tatyana Tarasova: you can crack a skater with great pleasure
Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova spoke about ways of working with skaters. Her words are quoted by Sport24.
“It can crack. With great pleasure! This method is rarely used, but effective,” Tarasova said. She added that she practiced this with her athletes, which is why their results improved.
Earlier, Olympic champion in ice dancing Natalya Bestemyanova told how she received a slap in the face from Tarasova. She stated that it was a psychological trick from a trainer that helped her come to her senses.
Under Tarasova’s leadership, Soviet and Russian figure skaters won Olympic gold medals seven times. Since 2005, the coach has been combining coaching with work as a television commentator.
