Viktor Keiru, Olympian, Russian Championship and VTB League winner:
“I worked with Sasha for only one year. On one hand, it was a difficult season for me — I was returning from an injury while playing for Dynamo.
On the other hand, even the limited number of games I played that season were at a very high level, and later I signed an excellent contract for the following year.
Sasha played a direct role in my individual preparation. His work helped me return after injury in top technical form. 💪
Sasha’s greatest strength is his attention to detail — especially in shooting exercises. It’s also very important that he adjusts his approach depending on a player’s level.
I was already an experienced player, and Sasha didn’t try to change my instincts or my individual feel for the game — instead, he helped me enhance and build upon them.
I believe that recognizing a player’s strengths and working with them is crucial — and if a coach can also help improve their weaknesses, that’s even better. Sasha is absolutely capable of doing both!” ❗️
