Nikita Nagorny - video blogger
A few years ago, Nikita started a video blog where he tells a wide audience about his life. The most popular videos from this channel gain more than 300 thousand views.
Nikita admits that at some point he was simply tired of speaking in half-empty stands. Even in the capital's competitions, the spectators were sometimes only the athletes themselves. Nagorny thought that creating a YouTube channel would attract new viewers. However, Nikita does not consider himself a blogger. He calls himself an informant for those who still do not know that there are spectacular sports and in addition to hockey, football, biathlon and basketball.
Nikita's video materials elicited a response from a wide audience. He began to receive comments and messages. Nagorny is proud that now there are those who decided to send their children to gymnastics after watching his channel.
Seeing how the audience of Nikita’s blog is growing, many athletes followed his example and began to create something similar. The gymnast dreams of organizing a meeting with subscribers to the channel. Nikita does not believe in millions of admirers of his work. While he is satisfied with more modest results.
Nagorny’s plans include creating a video program where other athletes will participate, including not only gymnasts. The piggy bank of potential stories is constantly replenished. It is a pity that enhanced training leaves very little time for working with a network audience, Nikita laments.
When creating a channel, there were no conflicts. Some coaches reproached the athlete for giving the wrong shots, distorting reality and striving only to become famous. Nikita came to the conclusion that there is a simple rejection of the new. After all, the information that Nagorny puts on the network can lead to changes in the world of gymnastics.
Detractors were found among athletes. Some of them believe that the video blog distracts from the training process. And yet, many congratulate Nikita on the undoubted success in this area.
In sports work, the support of fans greatly helps the gymnast. Athletes receive a sea of positive emotions when they feel that other people are rooting for them. Nikita likes when children come to the competitions: little fans are not shy about expressing their feelings, making noise, screaming, applauding. Looking at them, adults also become more active in the stands.
