She highlighted the critical need for players, especially the younger members of her squad, to develop unwavering self-confidence and a proactive mindset on the court.\n\nLyubushkina described a specific psychological tactic she believes can be effective even before the ball is in play. She explained that sometimes, a player simply needs to stand firm and look an opponent directly in the eyes without looking away. This act of holding one's gaze, she noted with a smile, is a form of exerting pressure, a mental game played outside the physical action of volleyball itself.\n\nTurning her attention to her teammates, the captain expressed optimism about the future. She acknowledged that the young players at Lokomotiv have many seasons ahead of them. Her wish for them is that they do not waste this valuable time. She urged them to learn quickly, to grasp crucial game moments faster, and to truly compete for championship medals.\n\nLyubushkina's advice stems from a deeper understanding of the sacrifices required in a professional athlete's life. She spoke of the personal costs, noting that players often cannot see their families or children due to the demanding schedule of training and competition. The ultimate goal, she stressed, is to ensure these sacrifices lead to tangible achievements.\n\nThe captain painted a stark picture of the alternative. She warned that if athletes do not apply themselves and learn efficiently, they might one day realize they have not accomplished what they set out to do. This realization, she said, leads to regret and the painful feeling of \"biting your elbows\" over missed opportunities.\n\nTherefore, her core message to the younger generation at Lokomotiv is twofold. First, they must accelerate their understanding of the game and draw conclusions from their experiences. Second, and most importantly, they must cultivate and maintain a strong belief in their own abilities. This combination of rapid learning and self-assurance is, in her view, the key to a successful and fulfilling career.\n\nThe interview, conducted by Elena Kovalenko, a correspondent for the sports outlet Чемпионат, provides a glimpse into the leadership mindset within one of Russia's prominent volleyball clubs. Lyubushkina's words serve as both a motivational push and a sobering reminder of the high stakes involved in elite sport.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Lokomotiv Kaliningrad captain Ekaterina Lyubushkina shares advice for young volleyballers, emphasizing self-confidence, quick learning, and the importance of fighting for medals to avoid career regrets.","327826836715212801","326135624887177216","Championship","0","2026-05-07T13:05:07Z","lokomotiv-captain-urges-young-volleyballers-to-seize-opportunities-and-fight","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fvolleyball\u002Fnews-6459562-lyubushkina-ty-ne-vidish-semyu-detej-a-potom-raz-i-ponimaesh-chto-nichego-ne-dobilsya.html","326257611806609408","Lokomotiv",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326257745512632320","326257796423094272","326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326255039762927616","326255043911094272","326257539962376192",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Members","Russia","Anderlecht","Canada","Sheriff Tiraspol","Shelbourne","Como","Lokomotiv Captain Urges Young Volleyballers to Seize Opportunities and Fight for Medals",[76,106,142,174],{"awayTeamId":77,"awayTeamName":78,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":79,"homeTeamId":80,"homeTeamName":81,"id":82,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":83,"matchName":84,"publishedAt":85,"slug":86,"sourceName":87,"sourceURL":88,"teamId":89,"teamName":90,"teamIds":91,"teamNames":98,"title":105},"326255038148120576","Hibernian","Celtic hold constructive talks with Robbie Keane and plan discussions with Martin O'Neill as manager search continues; Rangers target Hampus Skoglund.","326257567044997120","Rangers","337875415949381633","327053940279480320","Rangers vs Hibernian","2026-06-04T06:36:46Z","why-celtic-talks-keane-o-neill-manager-search","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcp9pd3l5mp2o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss","326257567011442688","Celtic",[89,80,77,92,93,61,94,95,96,97,62],"326257539333230592","326257546153168896","326255038768877568","326255044473131008","326257590021394432","326222711535702016",[90,81,78,99,100,69,101,102,103,104,70],"AC Milan","West Ham","Hammarby FF","Hamrun Spartans","Toronto FC","Sweden","Why Celtic Talks Keane & O'Neill: Manager Search",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":107,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":108,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":109,"slug":110,"sourceName":111,"sourceURL":112,"teamId":113,"teamName":114,"teamIds":115,"teamNames":128,"title":141},"France U17 face Belgium in the Euro U17 semi-final on Thursday 4 June at 13:30 CEST, live on L'Equipe Live foot.
