Athlete Emma Tainio published a summary of its ending season. In addition to the moments of joy but also the annoying things.
In many ways, a 21-year-old sprint runner, who had competed in his breakthrough season, grabbed his first medals from the Kaleva Games this year and first represented Finland in the Youth Value Race and Sweden.
The season also accommodated nasty things. One of them was the end of cooperation coach Markku Leppänen with only one year after one year.
– I experienced loneliness, injustice and at the same time relief. I had been freedom and in practice I was able to be myself again. I hope no young athlete gets into my situation. Every young athlete deserves an encouraging, accepting and encouraging coach who is able to show his feelings openly, Tainio writes in his Instagram publication.
– You don’t have to reduce yourself. Sport is your place, bring light there, and don’t let others dim it. Yes, there is enough light to the world.
Tainio told Earlier in September to Ilta-Sanomat The reason for the end of the cooperation was the personal chemistry that did not work.
Leppänen commented Today, Friday to IS to end the cooperation after Tainio had released his update on Instagram.
– It is not about not accepting his personality, but it is a difference in action. We have discussed things during the season and agreed that the season will be completed in this coaching cooperation, Leppänen said.
For the first time, Tainio participated in the Swedish match for the first time. Pasi Liesimaa
