Sazhid Sazhidov: “We need a sports educated youth today, who will glorify our people” Author: Khabib Magomedov Photo: Three months have passed since the Honored Master of Sports of Russia, head coach of the Dagestan’s freestyle wrestling, President of the Russian Federation of the Republic of Dagestan Sazhid Sazhid Sazhid Sazhid Sazhid Sazhid Sazhid Sazhid Sazhid, was appointed Minister of Physical Culture and Sports of the Republic of Dagestan.

Agali Tsumadinsky district A, Dagestan, Russia - Russian Free -style fighter, bronze medalist of the Summer Olympic Games of the year in Athens, two -time world and European champion, four -time champion of Russia. Pupil of the coaches of Dalgat Abdulbasirov and Mairbek Yusupov. Sazhid Khalilrakhmanovich, which changed in life, what had to be encountered, what had to be abandoned, what to get used to?

If there was a lot of free time in my sporting life, then in my life the minister is not there! If I, as a coach of the freestyle wrestling team, conducted narrow -minded activities, today, as a minister, I am responsible for all Dagestan sport. For its development, prospects and results. Therefore, of course, there are difficulties today. Every day you have to deal with many issues on sports facilities, make decisions related to teams, federations, disputes between business entities ...

The volume of work is very large, plus the responsibility is huge to the people, the sports community, to the leadership of the republic, which sets us tasks. I am not embarrassed to study, ask, study what I do not know. Therefore, if I want to bring any benefit to society in my place, I have to learn and make the right decisions. What are our strengths and weaknesses?

Today he has grown many times in terms of mass. Maybe this is our history, our location, origin. This contributes to our successes on sports arenas. In addition, the population is growing in our country. Young people become more and, accordingly, athletes too. And they have a craving for sports. Examples for imitation are our champions and their life path.

They confirm that this is achievable, prestigious, useful, necessary. Therefore, sport is developing and the level of achievement goes up. From three years to the elderly, Dagestanis love sports, prefer a healthy lifestyle. So rather it was in the Soviet and recent Russian time. Now we have many federations in a variety of sports. Every day they appear!

And they are very productive, show the results. For example, athletics, wheelchair sport on our good upsurge. So, at the nearest Paralympic Games Dagestan will be represented by six disabled athletes. Next year there will be the Surdlimpi games among the deaf. The plans to go there in the national team from Dagestan are already 32 people. This suggests that the sport is progressing, it goes to rise, he is given serious attention.

As for our problems in the development of sports - I think we are still behind other regions in the construction of sports facilities, by the availability of infrastructure. We really do not have enough sports halls, sites. How much are we provided according to some standards accepted in the country? It depends on how much we can find land, prepare plans, projects, submit applications in a timely manner, show our vision, justify our participation in various programs.

An important factor is how many people are playing sports, the number of medals won in the international arena.

Therefore, in this regard, we can be calm and submit applications. A serious problem is a complex mountainous terrain of our republic. Children should be able to study, despite the locality they live. You can not always choose areas suitable for construction. It often happens that the gyms are crowded and an additional set of pupils is impossible due to crowding. This is today our weak side, on which we are now concentrated.

I repeat: I, as a minister, have to develop sports infrastructure. Starting from large cities and ending with mountain villages. We must create conditions for our people so that they can play sports. Both Olympic and mass species. We will work in this direction. From the leadership of the republic there is support and understanding. I think that with the help of Sergei Alimovich Melikov, we will receive federal financial assistance and solve the problem of building sports facilities.

And they allegedly cannot accept the balance and put them into operation, because the legal issues of land management have not been resolved. After all, something needs to be done with this and we are forced to do this, studying certain documents that can be legally considered. Most of these objects, indeed, were prepared and built negligently, unprofessional. We also often encounter a situation when we can build a particular sports facility, but there is no land, there is no appropriate documentation in municipalities.

Especially in the mountainous areas with this great misfortune due to landlessness.Sometimes years pass while they find hundreds, while they bring the documentation in accordance with the requirements. Solving these problems is the task of municipal leaders. The philanthropists who have built some objects and now cannot establish their operation, or district administrations that do not want to take on an additional load, for example, the maintenance of the constructed gym.

You see, the ministry should build sports facilities, take care of the health of the people, about sports achievements, and we have to deal with questions that lie outside our competence - to run around the offices, to study something. Nevertheless, we are always ready for dialogue with the heads of municipalities, we will petition for them in different ministries, to pay attention, we went towards.

In the specifics of their organization, coronavirus pandemia played its negative role. How does Dagestan prepare for this Olympics, how do we see it, what are our plans? Of course, this is bad for fans and athletes, but the main thing is that it will take place, because the Olympiad is the goal of each athlete. Of course, we suffered because we were preparing for it a year ago.

The Russian team also has Dagestanis. In principle, our guys are ready. Those who are already included in the team are engaged in their own programs, are preparing. I hope that the situation with coronavirus will not be complicated and you will not have to cancel or transfer the Olympics again. Very good results in judo, taekwondo. Who else gets to the Olympics? For some sports, the selection is not yet completed and these numbers may increase.

But, basically, of course, this is freestyle struggle, martial arts. There are also boxers, representatives of the rugby. I will specifically make a reservation: the interview format does not allow to list the names of all Dagestanis, who, as part of the Russian team, will take part in the upcoming Olympics in the teams of other countries. But there are many of them, and we are proud of them all!

For example, one of the best in the world in the Women's Rugby is the captain of the Russian team Baisat Hamidov, in the fencing team, our Isanat Murtazaev. Or in the Canadian national team - the swimmer Ruslan Gaziev, and in the Spanish national team boxer Gazi Khalidov. In total, Dagestanis are included in the Olympic teams of TI countries. Unfortunately, the younger generation today is not all smooth.

Not everyone has life safely. Young people are configured for life “here and now”, and when this does not work out - many roll into radicalism and it comes to extremist, terrorist manifestations. Glory to Allah, now this has become much less. Meanwhile, the coaching staff of Dagestan has a huge potential of positive impact on his wards. What work does the ministry carry out in this direction?

What do you take at the forefront? This problem is even more important than the tasks of conquering medals and the victory of our guys in competitions. Today, the main thing is to protect young people from all that causes harm - both young and society themselves. You said correctly: we, as a coach, as educators, must understand that we are more responsible for these children, which we train and who tomorrow for various reasons can leave the sports platform and take the wrong path.

The coach, his words, his example, upbringing is a huge authority for young men. Sometimes it happens that parents have less influence on a teenager than a coach. Therefore, we must use the advantage of such an impact on children. Thus, the Ministry is constantly holding thematic meetings with the leaders of sports federations, directors of sports schools, and trainers of national teams.

Individual work is organized with both teachers and athletes. For example, now many coaches with their pupils are in summer camps. We go there for explanatory work, conversations on topical topics, show motivating videos. Sites are created where materials with eminent athletes, veterans of sports are posted, which explain to the young, what is good in life and what is bad, that not only their fate depends on this, but also the life of loved ones.

We do this work because we understand our responsibility. Our main goal is to prevent people to go somewhere in the forest or take drugs so that there are no such people, there is no need to rehabilitate them!
