"I really love working with little children, they're my favorite!" Academy coach Elizaveta Zorkina talks about the results of the school year for preschoolers

Academy coach Elizaveta Zorkina shared what gymnasts from the free early development groups at the Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy learned over the past academic year:

"The girls grew up, and we started doing more challenging exercises with them, new exercises for general physical training, and coordination skills. We learned a new exercise without an apparatus. They already performed with it at the mAlinka competition. They've probably gotten stronger in everything because they've started paying more attention to everything."

She explained why she loves working with little children:

"I really love working with the little ones, teaching them something, seeing their progress, those sparkling eyes, and instilling a love of gymnastics in them. I really love working with the little ones; they're my favorites. I'm quite patient, so I can teach them everything without getting tired. I understand that I can explain things in a way that the kids understand and can complete the tasks I tell them. They like it when I come up with something new."

She also shared the plans after the summer holidays:

"We'll work on stretching, I think. We'll also continue working on speed-strength training and coordination. We've already worked with this subject, but now we'll be creating exercises for it."
