The Buteyko Method in Sports: Tennis, Training & Recovery | Vlad Shchetinin #sports #breathing

Can breathing become a real part of athletic training — just like technique, movement, strength and recovery? In this international conversation, Sasha Yakovleva speaks with Vlad Shchetinin — tennis coach, athlete and Buteyko practitioner — about the role of breathing in sports and why healthy breathing habits should be developed from the very beginning of an athlete’s journey. Vlad has been involved in sports for most of his life. His background in competitive tennis, coaching and the Buteyko Method gives him a practical perspective on what happens to breathing under physical load — and why athletes should pay attention to it. In this interview, Sasha and Vlad discuss: • the Buteyko Method in sports • breathing during tennis and intense physical activity • nasal vs. mouth breathing • breathing habits during training • recovery after physical load • the connection between breathing, focus and performance • why breathing belongs in training from day one This is not about a quick “breathing hack.” It is about treating breathing as one of the fundamental skills an athlete can train and develop over time.
