Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich,
I didn't forget that you weren't satisfied (and you were not alone) with the results of winter Olympic games in Vancouver. Of course Russian athletes can do much better, and I wish they do next time. But what was the reason of not really applying their abilities, remains a question. I thought about this long and deep and I can offer you my help in form of interviewing them and finding out what happened, what was missing for them, what do they need at this time, so Sochi will be much better place for them.
1. I can talk to them in person,
2. give them questionnaires to file out,
3. ask them to write story about their stay in Olympic village,
4. all of the above.
If you wish questionnaires can be anonymous, so they can be as open and honest as they wish.
Every time this subject came to my mind I asked myself "why, why, why?"
One example on me; if I can't get enough good sleep I can't do my best.
Were they overwhelmed, overworked, pressured or had noise around them at nights? Couldn't get enough good rest, good food? What about moral? Anybody was doing a good job encouraging and uplifting their spirits? All those factors can effect the performance where every split second counts.
Let's find out, if you wish, shall we?
Vsevo dobrovo.
