In a recent interview with Match TV, the important topic of unnecessary, uncertified additional ice training sessions for children was raised. I have repeatedly said that this issue needs to be addressed, and I fully agree with our President Vladimir Putin, who has also criticised this harmful practice. Using our children's team as an example, I can say that this practice has only harmful effects. Not long ago, instead of resting and recovering, half of the team engaged in additional training sessions. Unknown coaches held training sessions using unknown methods with the children for three hours! Of course, as a consequence of this, the players could barely move on the ice when participating in an important match. There is no need to overload children at all, instead they need to rest, study and recover. We’re working hard to ensure that such additional classes are certified and conducted by qualified coaches with the necessary knowledge. If a child becomes tired or sustains an injury, his immune system consequently becomes weaker because of working too hard. Who is responsible for this? I appeal to all parents: please make sure that your children develop correctly! At the Russian Ice Hockey Federation we are working hard to bring the training process back into order, and to ensure that the coaches who hold extra sessions possess the appropriate qualifications.
