Vladimir Zaglada : One Coach's Journey from East to West

By
Rick at Gymnastics Coaching has alerted me to the publication of the above book, for which a preview is available at the author's website.

I have just ordered a copy from Amazon UK for £12.61 including Free Super Saver Delivery.  This will definitely be my Easter holiday reading; it will probably find itself tucked into my handbag for the flight to and from Berlin! 

It sounds as though it could be a little more digestible for the everyday reader than Leonid Arkaev's book, How to Create Champions.  

Now what I would really like in addition to these two books is an autobiography of Leonid Arkaev, written in English.  Oh, and an English language translation of Alexei Nemov's autobiography, please.

    Dear Quenn Elizabeth! You can find in "One Coach's Journey... my personal opinion about Leonid Arkayev and couple very special articles about other great Masters of World Gymnastics as well. I didn't take any information from anywhere (books, internet, rumor,gossip, anecdotes anf jokes). Have fun reading the book.
    All the best from Vladimir Zaglada

'We were a new team, all the girls are young, and it's their first time in such a serious competition.  I think today we performed to the best of our ability.  Yes, we have had two falls today - on the uneven bars and balance beam.' 'The young girls failed  psychologically, but  the first time you compete on the senior podium - it's not very easy.  No  one is sad.  I  am very pleased with such a performance.  Everything  was fair enough, maybe not everywhere and in all things, but overall it was quite as expected, both our rivals, and the judging.'
