From the author: Interview with Divorce Info magazine No. 7, 2014. The author of the questions and editor is Karina Nazarova. Igor Ladanov: “Losing is never worthy...” - Igor, the first question is about money: how much does it cost to prepare a first-tier athlete for victory? How many sessions does he need to undergo in good faith? -The cost is the same as for any other client, if we are talking about an athlete, and not about a whole team, for which you need to work not only individually, but also in training mode. The number of sessions depends on the task at hand; for example, to master a single skill, four to five two-hour sessions will be enough. But playing coherently with the whole team takes longer; you will need to look for reasons why such coherence does not work out. There was a case when an athlete simply reacted painfully to the merger of his loved one with the team, and felt fear of losing his individuality. - Do you work with athletes in any sports? - Yes, the psychotechnologies I use allow me to work with any athletes in different sports - including and those that I may not know at all - the main thing is that the client understands it at least a little. - Surely a famous athlete will not want to be seen in a psychologist’s office. Nowadays it is fashionable to “go” to a psychologist on Skype. And if the athlete is in another city, it’s even convenient... - If the person is famous and doesn’t want to go to the office, then you can meet in another territory, but it will cost more. If you need to work with several athletes or a whole team, then always on their territory, but this is completely different money. I don’t like working via Skype - virtual work often brings virtual results. So if necessary, go to Moscow. - Who usually decides to seek this kind of help? The athlete himself, the coach or the team owner? - The athlete himself, the coach, and the team owner can ask for my help. In the latter case, it can be the most difficult to work with, since it was decided by the owner, but not always by the coach and the team. - Are there any misfires in your work? Let's say an athlete went through ten sessions, but still there - he loses again... - My work is always successful, only success depends not on the number of sessions, but on solving the root cause! The terms of cooperation, unfortunately, are often focused on deadlines and sessions, so you have to dance in strictly defined steps. - Psychologists unanimously claim that all problems come from childhood. Do you include psychoanalysis in your sessions or do you somehow otherwise solve this problem, which “comes from childhood”? - To work with childhood, I use patterns of the time line and social diagram. To understand the difference, these modern methods solve in one hour those childhood problems that a psychoanalyst has been working with for years. This is modern therapy! - Timeline patterns? Are we going to fly through time? - Yes, we go into the past and reset ourselves, for example, removing the prohibitions on success and victory from the past! - Igor, since we fly into the past, it means we have a time machine... Will we also fly into the future? Or has it not yet been determined? So we do it ourselves? - The future has probabilities, and they can be increased. Just like a tractor will not overtake a Mercedes in any future. And if you turn him into a Mercedes too... - “I can choose any future and trace its genealogy from another past” - this, by the way, the priest said. - Priests are the first psychologists. - If an athlete comes to you, and you see , that he has several obstacles preventing him from winning. Where do you start? - By removing these obstacles. - As I understand it, the end result is an independent person who has mastered the mechanism of victory, learned to win on her own... Is this for life, like cycling skills? Or will he lose the skills instilled in him after some time? - Changes remain for life. The question of victory is whether the changes exceed the level of the competitors. - You!
