Eleanor Roosevelt once said: «The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams». Cadet of the Zhytomyr Military Institute named after S.P. Korolyov Dmutro Kosatuy, who set the record of Ukraine for the exercise «rise with a coup», not only believes in the beauty of his dreams, but realizes them. Dmutro told Zhytomyr.Travel about his plans and achievements

«Playing sports teaches a lot: it cultivates strength of character, the desire to win and fill the world with positiveness. I do workout, crossfit and weightlifting. These are difficult workloads, but I can withstand them thanks to the support of my parents, my beloved girl, who has become a muse for me, the inspiration and meaning of my life, as well as self-belief. And it is inspiring that I do my favorite thing… In our institute there are many girls and boys who achieve high results, fulfilling the standards for the title of «master of sports»

«I didn’t prepare for setting the Ukrainian record for long, maybe two months. The coach suggested to try to break the record of the institute to begin with. I did not think about it, but after the first training I decided to try. Everything worked out. I started with 50, and then 100, 200 climbs with a coup and beyond. So I reached 1000 times – set a record of the institute… When I decided to record the result officially at the national level, there were quite difficult conditions: heat, working on the street. Maybe that’s why it didn’t work out, but during the conversation the representatives of the National Register of Records of Ukraine told me that it is simply impossible to show such a result on the street»

«I played football from the age of six to 18, I thought I would connect my life with this sport, but it’s not that simple. One evening I decided to go to the sports ground to exercise on horizontal bars… And then I started to train seriously. My parents always supported me, and my father from childhood showed by his own example how to follow a sports regime, to harden the character. Family is very important to me, and the day my little brother was born was the best day of my life»

«To play sports seriously, you need to love it. Otherwise you will not succeed. Since childhood, my parents taught me that it is necessary to be yourself – as you are!»

«I can’t say that I always follow a healthy diet. I try not to eat crackers and chips, although sometimes I really want to. However, it is necessary to adhere to the training regime, eat properly, drink a lot of water in order not to lose shape and not to gain weight. Mandatory and regular training and running»

«I was significantly influenced by the example of bodybuilder Artem Dolgin, who lived in Zhytomyr and then moved to America. He comes from an ordinary family, and as a result of hard work and faith in his own strength, he managed to succeed and motivate others»

«I like books about interesting people, development and motivation. I have my own library where I collect literature about athletes. I really like Steven Gerrard’s «My Story» about the ups and downs of the legendary captain of the team «Liverpool» and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s «Remember Everything», which has many inspiring statements. And I also want to find a book about the life of Victor Tsoi – I really like his songs»

«And I would like to become the main character of the film, which tells people about freedom and motivates them to achieve their own goals»
