Produktinformationen zu „One Coach's Journey From East To West / Westwood Books Publishing, LLC (ePub)“
Until the fall of the Soviet Union the West and the Communists were engaged not only in a heated arms race but a race for Olympic gold. Moscow poured tremendous resources into the effort, attracting some of the country's greatest minds. Vladimir Zaglada provides a look inside some Soviet Union gymnastics "think tanks," like Moscow's Lenin Institute. One Coach's Journey from East to West also introduces some of the brilliant and colourful figures of gymnastics and examines how the flood of coaching talent into the West has shifted the balance of power and has been somewhat impeded by cultural and language barriers. Hot topics like the relentless increase in difficulty level are discussed and a number of technical issues are covered, complete with illustrations. This book provides a rare look inside the world of Soviet gymnastics at its height and provides information never before published in English.
Autoren-Porträt von Vladimir Zaglada
VLADIMIR ZAGLADA was born in Soviet Leningrad (today, St. Petersburg, Russia) in November, 1944. He received a degree in coaching gymnastics from the Lvov (Ukraine) Institute of Physical Education. He went on to do graduate work at Moscow's Lenin Institute of Physical Education, earning a Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences (the approximate equivalent of a PhD). In 1964 he was granted the title Master of Sport of the USSR in Acrobatic Gymnastics. Zaglada has devoted his 40 years professional life to the theory and practice of artistic gymnastics, including as coach and consultant for the senior and junior Soviet women's and girl's gymnastics teams, assisting in their preparation for World and Olympic competition. After serving as a senior professor at the main physical education institutes of Lvov and Moscow, he served as the head coach for Moscow-Dynamo's Olympic Reserve School, where many of the Soviet Union's top female gymnasts spent their childhoods training to become champions. Later he became the first president of Dynamo-Moscow's Gymnastics Club. He was a member of the Women's Technical Committee of the Soviet Gymnastics Federation, a member of the Executive Board of the Dynamo-Moscow City Council, an Honorary Member of Russian Dynamo, and a vice-president of the Dynamo-Southampton Gymnastics Club (now the United Kingdom's Dynamo School of Gymnastics). He served as producer and artistic director for the Soviet Gala Concert at the 1991 World Gymnaestrada in Amsterdam and has appeared as a gymnastics expert on both CNN and CBS. The author of numerous scholarly books and articles on artistic gymnastics, he coauthored (with Tatyana Lisitskaya) Floor Exercises for Women, which has been translated into Japanese and English and is recognized as one of the best monographs on the subject. For years he contributed chapters to textbooks used in the top institutes of physical education in the Soviet Union and Russia and has written a number of works on programmed

learning. He is recognized in The Encyclopedia of Gymnastics as having made a significant contribution to the shaping of both the theory and practice of Soviet gymnastics, including through his contributions in the area of branch programming, which led to changes in how complex gymnastics exercises are taught at the highest levels of training. In 1999 Zaglada left Dynamo to accept the position of technical director for men's gymnastics in Great Britain. He arrived in the United States on September 10, 2001. Since this time has he worked as head gymnastics coach for clubs in Minnesota and Georgia, where he produced a numbers of state and regional champions.
