Tarasenko Yana Biography

An interview with Yana Tarasenko, the wife of the famous Russian hockey player Vladimir Tarasenko, "Vova never tolerates problems in hockey for a family." In an exclusive interview with the Observer of the “Championship”, the wife of the Russian hockey player Yana Tarasenko spoke about the well -being of the striker, shared some secrets of family life, told about Vladimir’s relationship with children, her playing sports and constant optimism.

How do you deal? Of course, the sports regime of Vova and its specificity affect our lifestyle. Fortunately, I have a nanny and the ability to work from home according to a fairly flexible schedule. Plus, the eldest son helps. And now, when Vova is at home, he takes on a very large part of concern for children. Is there a resentment of doctors who unsuccessfully performed the previous operation?

But as you know, most professional athletes usually do not really like to discuss their injuries. Vova just refers to this majority. He absolutely does not want to waste time on resentment and regret or to look for the guilty. He sincerely believes all the doctors who helped him with large professionals and is grateful for their help. And today he has one desire - to quickly finish recovery and return to the ice again.

Materials on the Armstrong topic: we want Tarasenko to return for a long time this time and play for many more years - at one time the late commentator and expert Sergei Gimaev said that Vladimir was very lucky with his wife. How do you help your husband psychologically, in everyday life? Do you support it after unsuccessful games or in difficult times? Of course, this does not mean that he does not need support.

And it can be expressed differently depending on the situation-somewhere it is necessary to objective criticism, somewhere-sympathy, at some moments he just needs not to interfere and let alone one. Everything is like in an ordinary family - you just need to feel and respect each other's needs. How did he conquer you? In principle, he now remains very attentive and romantic. But then not even that struck me.

I was sincerely surprised by his wisdom and maturity, which you usually do not expect to see in young people of his age. Family was always important to him, he always wanted children and was ready to take care and take responsibility. Including children. Probably, even the dog in our family holds the same opinion laughs. By the way, I am absolutely not jealous, on the contrary, it pleases me very much.

Vova is really a wonderful father. He is excellent at the same time be both a kind friend and a strict dad. And in that and in another case, the children still adore him. They are both open, sociable and kind guys. Therefore, they quickly found a common language, made friends literally from the first minutes and remain the best friends so far. Which, by the way, does not prevent Vova from being demanding on the brand when necessary.

Just because he feels the same responsibility for all children and gives everyone the same way. It is easy for him with Mark, they have a lot of common interests: from hockey to computer games. At the same time, Mark has a wonderful relationship with his father, and he is well aware of his role in his life. But he, of course, is very grateful to Vova for friendship, support and for how much he invested in him over the years.

For example, who cooks more often? In our family, we are generally quite simple to cook and do not consider it someone’s direct duty. We focus on the situation. But I can say that Vova is more often responsible for breakfast, since in the morning Little Artyom always asks for an omelet from him. Well, dishes from the category of special in Vova are tastier than in a restaurant. So recently, Vladimir transferred several thousand dollars to treat a injured hockey player.

Do you also engage in charity in Russia? There are projects in which we participate publicly in order to attract public attention to the problem. And there are our personal initiatives that we try not to advertise. The story that you mentioned is just the same. She became public by accident. And when we help us ourselves there is no difference for us, in which country is a person who needs help.

Because we do this not for the sake of PR or support from some audience. On the contrary, we want our names in these cases not to appear at all. The players of Saint-Luis lost, fought in training, some horror was happening with the team, even there were rumors that Vladimir could exchange, you were pregnant. How did your family worry this time? I remember that there were failures, but I believed in the team and Vova and, as in the two previous pregnancies, I felt great.

In general, I always try to adhere to a positive attitude and not pay attention to difficulties, and even more not to waste time reading rumors, gossip and Twitter. And one more thing: I am an incorrigible optimist. This is a sport, and the stories of many clubs show that, even taking the last places in certain periods of the season, you can get together and win the cup.

And for some reason I was sure that this was just our case smiling.Back in January, in one of the games, Alexei Dementyev, a famous hockey agent and friend of the Tarasenko family. And January was far from the best time for the team. Nevertheless, we were simply sure that the guys have every chance and they would definitely show what they are capable of. So it happened. Or worry every time, as in the first?

But now I just understand the physical capabilities of Vova much better. He is a really strong guy with excellent preparation, regularly engaged in boxing before the injury. So you should not worry about him, I have no doubt that Vova will cope with absolutely any situation. Materials on the topic “Vova is very responsible for restoration from its injury” - how does your family experience this difficult coronavirus time?

We worry about the situation as a whole, for business, for people in a risk group, for our relatives in Russia, for the older generation. But, frankly, if not for these experiences, I could say that our lifestyle has changed too much. We preferred to spend time at home to coronavirus, only before this was not possible so often due to the dense schedule of the team.

So now we use this opportunity to the maximum and with pleasure. But, of course, we all lack hockey. Of course, I have an opinion on this issue, but, probably, it will be better if I keep it with me. Have you decided to stay in the USA? Moreover, this is not even connected with coronavirus.

The fact is that Vova is very responsible for restoration from her injury, and this year treatment has become the most important point in its schedule. All other things - vacations, trips to Russia and so on - we would have tolerate in any case, so as not to interrupt its rehabilitation. When Mark appeared, I realized that I was not ready to combine motherhood with a rigid schedule of filming and flights.

Since then I have been participating in projects as a model only for pleasure. Do you regularly support yourself in shape? When the athlete’s husband, the choice somehow does not remain smiling. Recently, I, however, try to change the approach to training, because when you repeat the same thing for many years, it starts to bother one way or another. This year I focused on functional training and directions that make the body not only visually beautiful, but also flexible and strong.

And here with the Pole-Dance dance on the pole. By the way, Koronavirus personally discovered new opportunities for sports for me. It was in the pandemia that I resumed classes with my first Pole-Dance teacher from Novosibirsk. I used to think that if she moved to Los Angeles, and I am to St. Louis, then she could not train me anymore. It turned out that he could, and the location is not a problem when there is the Internet.

You can practice yoga online with people who are in another part of the world, you can learn English with the best teachers and native speakers, you can master new hobbies and professions without leaving home. You can do everything, there would be a desire! Vova is already used to the role of Santa. Every year and every next child, he succeeds in it better. What kind of breed, whose idea was it?

What is the name, if not a secret? Your children are probably delighted? He asked for a dog from five years. And we seemed to be also not opposed, but everyone scared me that it was like getting a dog to get another child. Moreover, I wanted just such a serious dog with a strong character. In the end, we decided as usual spontaneously.
