Russian volleyball player Tatyana Kosheleva is already a titled athlete, Honored Master of Sports, World and European champion in the national team by her thirty years (titles were won in 2010, 2013 and 2015). The girl has changed several clubs, currently signed a contract with one of the best Brazilian teams.

Childhood and adolescence

The future Russian volleyball star Tatyana Kosheleva was born in Minsk (Belarus) in December 1988. The girl's father is a soldier. The family had nothing to do with sports. Three years after the birth of their daughter, the Koshelevs moved to Tula. It was this city that became native for the athlete.

In my school years I liked to play basketball. The young athlete was invited to take part in competitions, there were also significant victories. At some point, I became interested in volleyball, got into one of the games of the Tula team "Tulmash". She became an ardent cheerleader. I decided to try my hand at this sport myself. That's how it all started. True, at first the coaches did not take the girl seriously, it seemed to many that her passion for volleyball was simplepampering. If not for a lucky break. Someone from the coaching staff came up with the idea - to select Tatyana for the children's volleyball team. She agreed to participate.

The young athlete liked Irina Bespalova, who later helped Kosheleva get into big sport.

Club activities

When Tatyana was 16 years old, she was invited to Dynamo Moscow. For the club, the girl played 3 seasons. In the very first composition, she took part in the Russian championship of the 2005-2006 season. A year later, the decision came to move to Zarechye-Odintsovo, a team located near Moscow. Until 2010, the volleyball player played there. During this period, all possible trophies were won: a gold medal in the Championship, the Cup of the country, silver in the Champions League. The following year, Tatyana was invited to Tatarstan to defend the honor of Dynamo Kazan. It was with this team that the girl became the champion of Russia. In the same 2011, the club received the Cup of Russia.

In "Dynamo" (Krasnodar) Tatiana was invited after the performance for the Kazan team of the same name. Immediately after the transition, the athlete was injured. I had to be operated on, but willpower and the desire for new achievements did not allow me to lie down for a long time. After 4 years, the volleyball player deservedly received the title of the best forward of the CEV Championship.

Membership in the Russian team

The debut in the national team happened with juniors. As part of the European and World Championships, the girl with the Russian team became the silver medalist. In 2007, shedrew the attention of the coaching staff of the main national team.

After getting into the Russian national team, the career of Tatiana Kosheleva received new rounds of its development. Three years later, the girls received a ticket to the World Cup, held in Japan. Tatyana went to the tournament, having the title of the best striker. Bookmakers predicted the victory of the Russian team. And they didn't fail. In many interviews of that time, the girl admitted that she wanted to dedicate the victory to her dear people - mom and dad and a young man.

After the triumph in Japan, there were several major competitions, but so far it has not been possible to rise above the victory in the European championship. In 2016, at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the team suffered a disappointing defeat from Serbian women and could not go beyond the quarterfinals.

Now Tatyana finished the season in the Turkish Fenerbahce, underwent surgery on the sacral ligaments and signed a contract with the Brazilian Rexona-Cesc, whose coach is the great Bernardinho.

Private life

The young man to whom Tatyana Kosheleva dedicated her victory at the World Cup was the assistant head coach of Dynamo (Krasnodar). The girl met Fedor Kuzin during the period when she played for this team. The husband always supports the athlete, accompanies her at the training camp, at the moment the family is preparing to move to Brazil, where Tatyana will spend the next game season.
