Outstanding people are brought up by our country. One of these is Nikolai Karpol. He is full of fans around the world, and everyone knows his biography and the main steps on the career ladder. Do you know such a man-genius of domestic volleyball?
Nikolai Karpol: biography
One of the small Belarusian villages of the Brest region on the first day of the last month of spring was replenished with a resident, who later became known to the whole world - little Kolya was born. In his small homeland, he lived until he came of age. As soon as Nikolai was 18 years old, he moved to Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovsk Region. It was there that he entered the local pedagogical higher educational institution, where he studied for 3 years and, ideally, mastered the specialty of a core type mechanical drilling master. By distribution, it starts working in the Uralburvzryvprom trust. At the same time mastering physics and mathematics, studying at the corresponding faculty of the State Pedagogical Institute in Nizhny Tagil. Already a graduate, he began coaching. In 1968, he received an offer that he could not refuse, and which became no less a certain meaning of his life. So, Karpol Nikolai took custody of the Sverdlovsk team “Uralochka”.
Family status
An outstanding coach is bound by marriage with Galina Duvanova-Karpol. By the way, this is an outstanding volleyball player, coach of Uralochka. They created their family in 1966.
Dreams are real
Karpol Nikolai from a young age dreamed of creating a super team. He really did it. And although the initial creator of Uralochka is A. Kilchevsky, who assembled a volleyball team of female players, only Karpol could afford to give this team a “ticket to life” thanks to professional training, training, and training again. Kilchevsky as a coach did not last long, only two years, from 1966 to 1968. In 1968, the thirty-year-old coach from the Belarusian village became the “commander in chief” of “Uralochka”. The first months of coaching were thorny. All this period of time was marked by large, and most importantly, significant problems - the best of the best left the team. Such events only warmed the soul to foes. They even jokingly compared Nicholas with a general who was left without an army. This was the fundamental reason for the start of a global search called “Volleyball. Women. Russia".
Even then, the trainer was given the status of “genius for selection and management of the weaker sex”, “master of the combination of carrots and sticks”. Is this management method justified? When you hear, to put it mildly, the unflattering statements of the volleyball meter addressed to your wards, you involuntarily become chilly, everything is compressed inside, and all that may arise at such a moment is a feeling of pity for the girls.
But when at the end of the match the victory is in their hands, it seems that happier these volleyball players are not in the world. But in fact, the technique of Nikolai Vasilievich benefits not only these athletes, but also the Fatherland as a whole. Indeed, during his coaching, more than 50 wards received the title of “Master of International Volleyball”, and another 15 became Olympic champions. Separately, I want to note the Uralochka volleyball team, which to this day enjoys world fame, which the great "genius of volleyball" gave it.
Today the Uralochka volleyball team is a collection of various myths, legends and stories. But in fact, this is an amazing team, which occupies the highest rating in Russian volleyball, and has become the owner of absolutely all the cups being played. Among the latter is the prestigious Grand Prix trophy.
