Brave fighter Shamil Gaziev shared his memories of working together with coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.
“He gave me not only sports knowledge. Abdulmanap gave me a lot as a person, he was a teacher of life for his students. For example, he could come to the educational institution where you study at any time and ask about your academic performance. If the grades are bad or you do not attend school, he could forbid you to go to training. He wanted a person to be developed not only physically, but also intellectually. Physics alone is not enough, otherwise the fool will grow up.
Abdulmanap was a very strong psychologist. He could make anyone very courageous. He could talk, suggest somewhere, literally make a person out of nothing. He was a very strong motivator. Where necessary, scold, then praise. Abdulmanap treated everyone individually, he knew with whom and how to talk. If a guy could be offended after harsh words, he spoke softly to him, and on the contrary, he could constantly address someone in a harsh manner, ”Gaziev said in an interview with the Championship correspondent Alexander Frolov.
