The right coach / day

The head coach of the Latvian basketball team Luka Banks believed in Rodion Kuruc’s forces, although the basketball player had not managed to show himself successfully. First of all, the charges of private life were ended with a Cēsis career in North America, but returning to the Old Continent, he came to the nine -time Euroleague champion Gelko Obradovich, unable to work very well on both sides. « It was hard from the start because he has a very strong personality, a very big ego. Likewise, for me, because I will always defend myself. So we beat them all the time with their ego and clear that nothing good could come in such a situation, » Rodions remembers in an interview in this issue of the magazine.

However, when he got to the Strasbourg SIG team, coached by banks at the time, the situation changed rapidly and Kuruc regained confidence in his own strength. « One hundred percent agree with the saying that you are so good in sports, how good your coach is. He can only give confidence in how you are used on the pitch, how you talk to you. Each player feels the energy that the coach gives him. » Great cooperation with Spaniard Sito Alonso, who will take over the corners of our unit in the fall. « He has worked a lot to make the EU better than the leader to help my relationship with teammates improve their performance as well. He sees the characteristics of the leader in me and tries to develop them. »

However, the Latvian national basketball player has not always automatically meant a big game time at the club, as Rihards Lomazs and Andrejs Grazulis, under the guidance of an Italian specialist, were mostly sitting on the patch. Kuruc admits that the national team has talked about this issue. « It all creates the power of the team – coach, player, club management and ambition. June In a sports newspaper Read a very open conversation with the leader of the Latvian national team.

Good coaches are currently helping to climb Latvian football. Although the national team’s helmsman Paolo, led by Nicholato, has not yet won a vivid victory, and players publicly express their conviction that the team is going in the right direction, and the Latvian Football Federation Secretary General Arthur Gaidel also says in an interview. « The new coach has a slightly changing philosophy of the game, and the youth teams are also ready to make their players ready for national team demands and game style. Any change takes time, » he says. Recently, the Latvian indoor football team and the ladies’ team have also come to the new coaches. The indoor football team continues the course in our country, and it is also steered by an Italian – under the leadership of Masimiliano Bellarte, the Latvian team ranked 16 positions in the world rankings last November, but in April this year, the next graduation ranked 11 more and is now in box 60. The Latvian ladies’ unit has also shown successful performance under the guidance of new head coach Liene Vāciete.

However, no matter what we like sports, there are more important issues about it. The most important is undoubtedly human life. Unfortunately, the trends do not improve – in a country where the population is decreasing every year, losing more than 300 lives when drowning, fires or car accidents is a luxury that we cannot afford. These are deaths that could not happen. You can suffer in a car accident or fire without being caused by an accident, but drowning is a consequence of your own actions in almost all cases. That’s why we looked at the issues of each of us this month when spending time on the water in the summer.

Let us all have a sunny and healthy summer!
