Reason for taking up the sport
"My mother works as a trampoline coach at Vileyka Youth Sports School of Olympic Reserve. She constantly took me to workouts. When I was a year old, I learned to walk and at the same time to jump on a trampoline. From age five I began tumbling. Then I switched to trampolining and trained with Petr Zaitsev. In 2017, [Belurusian national coach] Olga Vlasova noticed me and took me under her wing. You could say I'm lucky." (belaruspartisan.by, 26 Jan 2020)

General
DEALING WITH EMOTIONS
He considers his main weakness to be his mental approach to training. "I do not have enough patience. For example, if I need to lose weight to make jumping easier, I don't eat anything, so it turns out that I don't sleep from it and fatigue accumulates. If something doesn't work out many times, I start to lose my temper, get crazy, and I don't want to jump. Because of this I can get kicked out of training. I understand my mistakes, then I apologise to the coach." (zviazda.by, 18 Jan 2020)
