I like many kinds of sport: skiing,
basketball, tennis; but my favorite
sport is taekwondo. Sports help
people to be strong, healthy and
energetic. We go in for sports
because it lets us feel the taste of
life, it helps to make friends. Sport
allows to prepare ourselves to meet
many challenges of our future
grown-up life.
My favourite sport is
taekwondo. I have been doing this
oriental sport since the age of 4
(now I am 9). My coaches have
explained to me that this sport
teaches people to be brave, honest
and responsible. I know that I will
certainly need all these qualities in
my future life.

I am very energetic but sometimes I lack patience and this leads to making mistakes. Taekwondo
helps to keep my emotions under control. It also makes me fit and helps to appreciate time.

My coach Serguey Nickolaevich Sukharev has the highest taekwondo degree – the black belt. He is
the master of sports and the Honoured Coach of the Russian Federation. He has trained many
young sportsmen, some of them have won all-Russian and international competitions.

We like our coach very much, but not only for his outstanding sports abilities. We are thankful to
him because he teaches us to value friendship and honesty, be ready to protect the weak and fight
for justice.

The older and more experienced sportsmen help us. And we do our best trying to improve our
abilities and character so that the younger children can rely on us in future. Our coach encourages
us to behave as a real sports family. I think this achievement is no less important than the gold
medal in the most prestigious competitions.
