Now, as an experienced athlete and referee, he will share his knowledge with the new generation of athletes.
“Participation in the Children of Asia Games was an unforgettable and very valuable experience for me. Having returned to Children of Asia as the chief referee and having joined the Alumni Union, I feel a responsibility for the new generation. I think it is necessary to impart to them not only technical skills, but also important life lessons that will help children achieve their goals in sports and in life. Sport is not only competitions and medals, it is a way of life, and I hope that my master class and physical education lesson will be useful for them,” said Mr. Merey Akshalov.
