Tarasova Irina. The will to win

The beginning of sports career

Sports career Tarasova Irina began in Kovrov in the Degtyaryov sports club (SKID). Irina warmly responds about her first coach Alexandra Baranov. He reads a lot, learns new techniques. The trainer's efforts were not wasted, in time the hobby turned into a favorite activity. The sportswoman remembers that in her native city they were trained sometimes in terrible conditions. When she was 12 years old, their section was kicked out of SKID, the coach was fired. The conditions were terrible, but they did not give up training - they were engaged in the street.

Over time, the conflict was resolved, athletes were allowed back into the SCID. If this does not happen, who knows, there would be enough strength and patience to continue training or not, recalls the athlete. The coach always supported, advised, helped to reveal even more potential and achieve better results. He was able to accurately guess the characteristics of his pupils and select a training program for each student separately.

The athlete says that if it were not for Alexander Baranov, then there would be no Olympics, there would not be Irina Tarasova. He has other students who have achieved remarkable results - Yana Borodina, Natalia Kutyakova.

In 2005, for her training in Kovrov, there were no suitable conditions, so Irina Tarasova left. Now Irina is a master of sports of international class. Trains in Moscow under the direction of the honored coach of Russia Morgachev Victor Nikolaevich. She has been in favor of CSKA since 2010.

How to train

The athlete says that in training you have to jump and run a lot. A special place is occupied by strength exercises. Irina says that she is pressing a barbell with a weight of 180 kg. Sometimes, it happens, and you'll cry-it's difficult. Such a lot of men and did not dream, jokes sportswoman. Before serious competitions and training is much more difficult, it is necessary to mint the technique. Happens, for 2 weeks of such trainings leaves up to 15 kg of weight.

Many athletes, starting to work with a new projectile without good preparation, are lost and do not cope with the increase in the mass of the core. Some stop training, someone stops at a certain level of throws. Probably, this is one of the reasons why Irina chose this kind of sport - there are practically no competitors. Another reason is the hobby of fashionable now thinness and harmony. Irina says she categorically disagrees. After all, you can remain beautiful and feminine with powerful muscles.
