Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Hi guys. Welcome everyone to New Talks. Uh, happy to see everybody here today. We got

Ekaterina Nazarova: everybody’s, hello, hello,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: hello, hello. [00:01:00] Um, so she is a motorcycle coach and a great person also. We get to know her today. Um, so, uh, you could again, and let’s start from, uh, you, you’ve been born in Russia and uh, then you moved to Dubai. Yeah. Like, uh, 14 years ago. So, uh, can you tell me what, uh, brought you there originally?

Ekaterina Nazarova: Well, it is a very nice, and it’s a special story always for me, and it will be this personal story because it has something with, uh, law of Abstraction and I watched movie A Secret. Yeah. It’s material beginning. I know. Yeah. So. Just, it’s been like those days, the secret movie wasn’t, um, like no free like this on YouTube.

You can find everywhere those days, at least to me, maybe I never saw before. And I saw one successful man give it to a friend of mine, one like disk, really disk. And he said, watch it and do [00:02:00] not let see no one. Mm-hmm. And of course there is nothing more important being that time than for me to reach that, that disc.

Mm-hmm. I had to see one there and I was definitely, yes. And I was young. I was like, I think 20, maybe 20 or 21 years old. Mm-hmm. Not even 21 before 21. So, and then I made it. So I was just moving like there is like, you know, like you can’t hear nothing. You don’t sell nothing. You just a hundred percent focus.

And well, it’s similar, like if you’re gonna, if you’re racing, who knows who raised the know. Mm-hmm. So you remove everything else, you have one thing. So I watch this movie the same and from that days I used these instruments and one time I was driving in my country in Russia, I was driving a car and I hit the old and this God its name blah, you know, the holes, some bad condition road is [00:03:00] Russian style.

Mm-hmm. So I look at it and I said, I said I wish to be in Theam Road when there is nothing and that be amazing, like so flat and so nice. And I put it in my heart and that feeling. And then I put my eyes up and it was a stein board, like, you know, putting indicators like mm-hmm. For dry. And I look at it, it was kind of rusted.

And I look and I said, look at that. How look angry that I wanna see an nice, beautiful signboard. And even if I don’t know what written there, let me not even understand what’s there, but I want to see that. Mm-hmm. Uh, and then it was cold. It’s three in one, like, you know, three in one, I’m cold. I’m like, it’s too much cold.

You know, I wanna be somewhere where no winter existing really. Mm-hmm. And three things. I was having that special feeling. And I do have a time to time and I love it. It’s my favorite. [00:04:00] So some mystical happened that time and everything start to change. My life just put me in one direction, which is Dubai.

And I was resisting. Mm-hmm. Literally resisting. I’m like, Dubai, no way. What I gonna do there? I don’t speak English. I know nobody there. Nothing. And I heard, you know, things about it. It’s not like I’m not gonna put myself there. Mm-hmm. Because that’s what I heard sometimes before. And I’m like, no way. But live, play.

A very nice joke. And it was a one way ticket. I will not go to, to really deep explanation, just no problem after problem. It’s, it’s like, it’s like from movies to be honest, it’s another story. Maybe one day again shared. That’s special. Special time. Probably not, not today. So, and I had really no way to stay in Russia and I had to go somewhere and not come back.

And guess what? It’s been Dubai. I came to Dubai. I look man. Soundboards. [00:05:00] Beautiful. I sold them somewhere. Well, it’s in my head, the road. Amazing. Wow. And guess what? There is no winter. Mm-hmm. Imagine.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. Other story. Yeah. That’s really nice story about this. So you actually like, resist your dream and uh, then move, uh, to your, your dream, uh, city.

That’s really cool. Um, how Dubai change, uh, like your view on motorsports and uh, how is it compared to what you had in Russia? And I, I know that you also race in Europe and uh, so tell me more about this. Alright, nice question. Well,

Ekaterina Nazarova: in Russia, I was a car lover. I knew nothing about motorcycle. Nothing. Not at all.

So in Dubai, even not too soon, it’s been like, I think about maybe five, four years I was in Dubai. I was doing war, then I did business. And then [00:06:00] out nowhere my friend come up with a story like Katrina. Let’s do, she was partner, um, with the beer salon hair before. Uh, so I said, let’s do motorcycle, you know, journey.

We go to America and we are gonna ride this road amazing over there. I’m like, what an idea. What an idea. It’s so amazing idea. It wasn’t mine. I’m like, yeah, okay. What’s the plan? And she was like a main hit, you know, in plants. Okay. And so she said, very easy. We are gonna make a license. Okay. I’m like, okay.

She was much bigger than me, very big lady. So she was about a hundred plus kilograms. I’m like, all right, I don’t know how she gonna do it, but I will do it. Okay. So

I’m doing it. So I knew nothing about it. I just went there. How very Well, I bit early than that. I had bad days and I was [00:07:00] listening some videos, which is might help me to go out from my mood, which is, was so down. And the video said you take a list, uh, like a paper and pen and write down a hundred points.

Mm-hmm What you wanna do, but don’t think about it. And I’m like, alright. So I did it. It’s been maybe months back then I moved, moved my house. Nothing. But when we start, this lady and me, we did driving license for a motorcycle. I was knew, I knew nothing. I crashed. First day, went to the wall, nothing. I knew absolutely it.

Then I come back home, I found this paper and it’s written on the middle, written, I wanna ride motorcycle and I wanna do extreme sport. Mm-hmm. I knew nothing about it. I was so sure. Ideas or it’s not mine, you know, so it’s me there. That’s how magic happened, basically. Mm-hmm. So it’s been somewhere inside me, but I knew probably nothing subconsciously.

So that’s why when you write down something fast, you don’t analyze, you don’t put [00:08:00] a border, which is our head sometimes. Mm-hmm. Very often you, you just, you know, put both fast, fast, fast, fast. And the subconscious will be, you know, open up and it’ll be speaking things, which is, you don’t know. Mm-hmm. Right.

That’s what happen. Interesting. So it’s probably been way like from that I believe it’s been from God, it’s the destiny. And that’s came a time. Mm-hmm. That’s it. And I need a license. So I cannot say how I knew it before Russia, because I knew it from Dubai, but from. Then I’m training. I train every day, man, every day.

Then I became ready for some reason, for a challenge, for a championship. Mm-hmm. Then I start to race, and then I discover Europe, main places in Europe and then Russia. So I saw it little bit later. Mm-hmm. I can compare, but, but it’s not like people might expect, you know? Yeah. So it was amazing. Yes. It’s beautiful.

Mm-hmm. But, but mobile sports [00:09:00] Exactly. Particularly bikes is on the back. Mm-hmm. Where in the back, yes. Where everywhere. Probably first or many, many Where? Dubai. And it’s my favorite country. I do it. Beautiful country everywhere, leading, but for some reason, motorcycle, particularly in Dubai, is not at the first, it is not leading.

Mm-hmm. Not at all. Yeah. We have Qatar, in Qatar, we have motor gp, um, like 35 racetrack. Mm-hmm. If, let’s say from GCC countries, yes. But in Dubai, we don’t have a truck, which is certified for auto GP yet, but I believe we will do it. Yeah. I believe,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: yeah. That, that’s really interesting so far. Uh, because, uh, you, you know, in my, in my point of view, I see that Dubai is really a good development in developing, uh, racing.

Uh, so here’s a lot of, uh, marathons like, uh, long endurance races, uh, with GT cars and uh, something like this. [00:10:00] Yep. So I felt that maybe, uh, motor sport also, um, like not on the back as you said, um, but I hope it’s going to develop, uh. With some time because if, uh, people getting into it, more people, um, like getting into the sports and it’s going to grow anyway,

Ekaterina Nazarova: I’m sure it’ll be a right time for that and I will do it properly.

Mm-hmm. I’m sure however, just there are a little bit gap, I believe where is a people not obeying enough regime of safe riding, uh, style here by, in the motorcycle and is developing, uh, you know, likely not pleasant opinion and in generally, uh, motorcycle biking style. Mm-hmm. In general, if you say I’m riding motorcycle over there is.

People are paying it. Yes, that’s true. Mm-hmm. It’s [00:11:00] maybe being so far, many, most of the countries, I believe, but yeah, it’s, I have to say it, we, we, we need a proper place. So proper, we need a bit of support that could have saved from the government. Mm-hmm. It’s, it’s, honestly, it’s very hard. I am a motorcycle coach today.

I’m training people. I believe I’m touching people lives and, you know, helping them. Mm-hmm. For some reason, PE people need always, not just like that. It’s always, people need each other, so, and I believe I, I’m kind of that bridge from, you know, being a bridge from human to what they need. Mm-hmm. Like, like that.

Yeah. From the help or maybe fulfilling their dreams. Sometimes it’s a safety, whatever. So it’s, it’s a bit difficult for me to, um, how to say, to, to, to grow, let’s say, to touch more, uh, souls and hearts. Mm-hmm. Uh, by doing it pretty so much alone. I do have a lot of partners, [00:12:00] companies with who we do collaboration mm-hmm.

Support each other. Mm-hmm. But again, it’s on the ground floor, it’s not on government level. Yep. So, yeah. That, that’s the difficulty. Land is a bit expensive and, you know, this is the main thing so far. Mm-hmm. So far. The rest is, everything is, uh, amazing. But I never stop. It’s been from 2020, no, 2021 actually to today.

It’s a full-time coach. Mm-hmm. No part-time, nothing. It’s a completely full-time coach. Even summer today, my first summer, I’m out of Dubai, but I never stopped before, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s awesome. Yeah. Also, I know that, that you race, uh, like in many, uh, countries, and, uh, can you tell me which podium, uh, finish felt the most special to you and why?

And, and then we’ll move to actually to coaching because it’s really interesting also how you switch from racing to coaching. Coaching.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Sure. Well, yes, it’s [00:13:00] a, it’s a very nice special to me, um, event. I can say one of them. It’s first of course, right? Mm-hmm. First race, one of them. But something else happened in Italy in general, and the feeling I’ve been searching.

Again and again, and it’s never come back. I found out over there a feeling came to me during the race, and it’s never come back after that. Imagine what happened. I’ll tell you, I didn’t share, by the way, this story. Mm-hmm. Like this, like in public. I never did it before. I think so. Forgive me people if I forget something, but I don’t really remember.

I shared That’s okay. But I did. But I did share people like this face to face. Yes. Uh, a feeling is very interesting, like being from so stressed, I felt I’m not ready. And I also felt maybe I will, I will back off. Imagine. Yeah. I had that feeling. [00:14:00] So maybe not today, you know, who cares? But then I imagine like, all right, imagine Katrina.

I talk to myself like that. Imagine if you did not do it past time and then you look back and you nothing you can change. Mm-hmm. How would you feel about it? And I’m like, no way. No way. No, no, no way. And I did, so I raced, of course I jumped to the race after this thinking. Mm-hmm. So, and then what happened while I’m racing, it’s like, um, we have first corner and that corner, and that then rabata this corner I know.

Later. And another story, I’ll tell you why. Anyway, so, so what happens is all of a sudden motorcycle became all wait list. Mm-hmm. I could, it’s all, it’s in any way. Very light. Uh, it’s very hard, very heavy. And the breaking guess. But on, on from January the ride, it’s light. Yeah. So far. If you, of course, but all of a sudden it’s a new feeling.

It’s light in [00:15:00] a way that it is floating above the ground. That is completely like usually I feel every grip, I feel, every angle, even every stone. Mm-hmm. But this time, nothing like that. This time there is no grip at all. I don’t feel touch. So, and it is above the racetrack? Mm-hmm. Maybe two meters or two and a half meters if I have to say it.

So it’s literally up. Mm-hmm. Right. It’s the first thing. And then what happened? The sound in my head disappeared completely. Plan in my head disappeared. Even I didn’t remember. Next will be right or left nothing. Even the gear which gear, nothing which lap. Mm-hmm. Completely nothing. So that’s not normal, you know, for racing.

You, you are still strategic. So focused. But I was focused but nothing. So I only see myself past and it is something else. God knows what and don’t know what. So all of these qualities, even [00:16:00] I missed the code. Like I missed the gear because I’m like, oh really? This will be right now. Okay, so gear should be go up, like go down sheet.

Mm-hmm. And raising its opposite. And I managed to do it and cover the mistakes, everything. And guess what, when I finished the race, I was like the biggest, my personal lap time ever, I did it. Mm-hmm. Wow. So I was the path that I could believe that time to my time. Yeah. Not over, not overall. So. It was a state of mind, unbelievable.

And I asked so many riders, guys, did you have anything like that? What, what? What I ask all riders experience. Like many people, I ask nobody, nobody find this. And they said, yes. I felt every stone. It’s not about every stone, it’s about there enough stone. It’s about your two, almost three meters up, you know?

Mm-hmm. Stone, nothing. So I thought, unfortunately I didn’t find, um, uh, nobody who, [00:17:00] who experience same till day to day. Maybe somebody from people who was watching today, us, maybe they command somewhere, somebody who had the same, I would literally wanna talk to this person, connect, and we know we have things to discuss.

Yeah. Wow, that’s really

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: magical story about your race. And, uh, it is. Yeah. That’s why it’s really special for you. So I feel you about this. It’s, um, yeah. You know what, I, I want

Ekaterina Nazarova: podium by the way. Yeah. If I was there that day, I had to point the podium, I have to mention. Yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. I think I still, you know, still remember how I won, uh, one of the first races in, in cars.

Uh, I remember a guy, uh, been crying after this, uh, because he, he won the championship. Uh, but there was like, uh, the special event, uh, in the end of the season and I won this. And, uh, he’s been crying. Oh. And then, yeah, I was like nine years old, 10 years old, [00:18:00] something like this.

Ekaterina Nazarova: It’s happy and sad, you know?

Yeah. Happy because it’s very happy. Of course. And sad because, you know, someone was crying, but it’s what Well, I’m proud of you.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. Thank you. Uh, so let’s move how you, uh, like, uh, change from, uh, being in racing, uh, racing motorcycles to actually coaching. So what lead you to do this decision in your life?

Ekaterina Nazarova: Okay, this time will be, no, it’ll be really normal. Oh, alright. Very normal story. Okay. Uh, it was a COVID, very simple COVID time. My, my last race I was racing, uh, no, no, pretty last, but the last one. Complete lost. I had to pull myself out because we couldn’t, we had to say our. Supporters, people who comes fans, we have to tell them you cannot come.

And it was my principle, [00:19:00] maybe like I, I, I lost the position overall. Oh no, the, the final championship. I moved to be third, but I was supposed to be second or overall it was really, like, for me, achievement to be second is hard, to be honest, because the only boys were there and they’re all mostly experienced.

I was the only lady to be second or it’s, it’s, it’s a big thing to be honest. And I had to make a decision that I cannot come and tell guys, do not come, you know, don’t come here. You’ll be knocking the doors, but no, no security, you cannot come. Mm-hmm. So for me it was a kind of. You know, human being and principle.

Maybe some people can tell me now, you know, it’s a sport and you have to go on people heads or whatever. So you’re not a good sportsman. Maybe, you know, maybe. But for me it was more, more of humanity and respect people who really, you know. Mm-hmm. And I did so much show that it’s last race, you know, there’s so many people wanted to come read so many.

And I just couldn’t do that. [00:20:00] And I pulled myself out last race and I lost the position became third automatically, and then COVID appeared a hundred percent. A hundred percent. And well, no sponsorships, nothing. I had to survive. I found a job, yes. I was sales. Later on, I said, look what I gonna do now We are living in Dubai.

I have to work because not, no event is gonna happen. Mm-hmm. And during the COVID, I joined VMW. Uh, so I was sales work there for a year almost. And then. Things like maybe me. Maybe what? It was just not for me. I think so. Maybe God knows better why I think it’s a God plan still because everything was so much unfair to me.

What happened as well, that job, I’m like, God, why think that on unfair, you know, to me. So, but then, so I resigned from them and I sat down and I said, what I gonna do now? You know, and I was so much tired to worry [00:21:00] the cha like, you know, the payments here and there, what I gonna do, how I gonna manage now?

And I do allow bikes here, but what, how can I make living out of this? And. Some of my friends call and say, Katrina, you know, my friend need help. Could you help, please? I’m like, look, okay, I’m available. I’m not working. You know? Mm-hmm. Let’s try it. So we went to the parking and I saw what I just, you know, few touches, ta, ta, ta explained.

Mm-hmm. I saw Miracle. I saw really miracle, unbelievable results. And I’m like, how that possible? I put my knee down one and a half months, this person put it in one hour. How that possible? Mm-hmm. You know, it was like a training for me. It was a really like magic. And he was really happy. And, and then another person, another person, and all things felt by itself that, all right, mm-hmm.

I’m gonna coach and I’m gonna do this full time. And well, it’s, people are happy. [00:22:00] I’m doing the right thing. I’m not living only for myself. I do something good in this life. That’s what I feel. And of course, it’s, it’s also rewarding. Yeah. So that’s the story, the part,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: yeah. That, that’s true. You know, during COVID, I think a lot of people changed their, uh, direction of the life, uh, really.

Mm-hmm. Like, uh, in the, uh, like, uh, the, in, in the hard way. Uh, so I changed it too. Uh, I’ve been into racing and then unfortunately in 2000, uh, 15, so I’ve been into program. We had plans, you know, till the formal one in all the series, uh mm-hmm. Free in Spain. Uh, but unfortunately Asna Motor Sports, uh, the team which, uh, support me in this, uh, they just, uh, decided to shut down the program in Kazakhstan.

And, uh, then I’ve been, you know, working in some racing, uh, club in, in Moscow, and I mm-hmm. Moved here from El Matty. Mm-hmm. Uh, and you know, I [00:23:00] just, I started from scratch, like you said, about motorcycles, so I just knew nothing in PCs, in some racing hardware and all the stuff. So I started to learn, uh, from scratch.

Uh, also coach people, so. From time to time, uh, in summer racing, uh, and then, uh, when COVID hits. So I’ve lost my job in Moscow, uh, because all the malls just shut down completely. Yeah. And, uh, we, with my husband decided that, Hey, let’s try like streaming. Let’s try to jump in. And I started to stream and, uh, yeah, for five years already, a full-time streamer.

Amazing. Amazing. And doing this. And it’s, it’s really rewarding because, you know, it’s really cool that you, uh, can see people, they coming to watch your race. You can communicate with them. It’s really cool. So yes, actually the same as you said about coaching. Uh, it’s, it’s really nice to inspire people, uh, because some people come exactly to.[00:24:00]

Like, Hey, what, what to get to start with, uh, some racing, um, how to start. And you, you tell people about this and then they, uh, coming to, to you after months and they’re like, Hey, I bought the new wheel. Hey, I just jump in. I’m having a lot of fun. Thank, thank you so much. Yeah, it’s it’s really cool.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Exactly.

Um, well, my favorite feedbacks when I say I’m receiving a phone call or a message and you know, I hear Trina, you know what happened, you know, when they start like this, I’m like, oh, wow, it’s this message. Probably gonna laugh. I put a star on them and WhatsApp to see them, you know, forever, but I have bad mood.

I’m gonna listen. And they said, you know, Katrina, I, that corner, if you know, I did what you tell me, that was amazing. Or another thing can be, you know, Katrina today, thanks God, you, you know, I get saved because we, you know, did. Mm-hmm. 1, 2, 3, 4. These moments, it’s for me, everything like I feel Yes. [00:25:00] You know, so I’m living for true, like I’m doing the right thing.

I love what I do and I wanna eat more. I wanna know how to come the planet. Uh, yeah, like that.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. It’s real cool. You know, when you inspire people, when you, uh, like can give advice, which going to make their life safer and, uh, they’re going to enjoy like riding more motorcycle or being in some racing and enjoy it more.

So it’s really cool. Correct. Correct, correct.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Agree with you.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, can you tell me about your tr uh, training program? So, um, what’s different? Uh, because you, you got different people. Yeah. Uh, like beginners. You got, uh, I think kids also, uh, and, uh, like professional dri uh, professional riders, uh, as well. So can you tell me about, uh, what’s the difference between their programs, uh, and, uh, like how you train them?

Ekaterina Nazarova: Okay. [00:26:00] Well, you write Absolutely. We have kids. Before I was just lawn and I got a team, so I speak, we okay. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. Uh, yeah. So now some are, we are traveling here and there, but of course we have also, uh. So trainers and so wait. We have kids. They’re so amazing and cute. The program I, I, I adore to train kids.

Uh, it’s very special for me for some reason. So it’s cute bikes. The, everything is so cute and amazing, but it’s a lot of responsibilities, of course. And I always said to train on one kid, it’s like, so. Slash three adults. Mm-hmm. Like be, maybe, maybe for me at least, you know, because I put everything in it, the, the prediction, the i, i just in them, you know?

Mm-hmm. A hundred percent. Mm-hmm. It’s, it’s not easy. Not at all. But, uh, parallel. Anyway, so, so kids, uh, [00:27:00] we have female, uh, programs because also we’re in, you know, Muslim country. Mm-hmm. The, it’s a cultural, yeah. So we, I, this time I can say I mm-hmm. Because other trainers are men, so I can, I, I have a lot of ladies.

Yes. It’s make things are much more comfortable for many ladies. Mm-hmm. When you know, a lady to late, two lady, and especially for their husbands, it is amazing, comfortable. Mm-hmm. So yeah, ladies, then we have a normal general beginners and advance, and we have also, not just advance, we do have. Extreme classes, but I’m not really advertising this.

Mm-hmm. Because I’m more into safe safety, but it’s only for those people who gonna do this in any way. Mm-hmm. So I’m never pronouncing this whole. Doing this in any way. But after a long time saying, I always put them, come on. I do succeed in [00:28:00] 90%, by the way. 90% by talking. I said, look, why do you need a wheelie?

You know the wheelie? Yeah, I know. It’s cool. But come on, you know, if you are gonna do a leaning corners, you’ll, you know, these things are. Something really needed. And it is not, you’re gonna be punished by law because you’re gonna do things like mm-hmm. You know, wheelies, it’s, it’s prohibited in the streets.

Come on. And it is a lot risky. For what? For a couple of pictures? No, you, no. It’s so much risk. No need. Okay. No need. So, but 10% I’m losing it. Yeah, sometimes. But mainly 90% people follow advice and when they do truck riding, it’s like, you, it is very good for your. In general, be a good rider. It does not mean you’re gonna go on the streets, put a knee down.

It’s a, it’s a rule number one. We are not doing this on the streets. Never, never, never, never, ever. We not do this, but we’re gonna go and see the limits. So we wanna put the knee down because we wanna see a limit, what gonna happen in [00:29:00] this situation. Mm-hmm. And we’re gonna do it together in the full safety gears.

We’re gonna be in proper place and we’re gonna be using right tools for that. Not huge things to discover and hurt themselves. Yeah. Uh, so, so far it’s, it’s a, the training. I don’t know. Lately we have a lot new riders. Some people said, Katrina been, I’m finally ready. I’m following you for three years, you know, on my page, three years and something happened.

Now I’m ready. So, so, but, and like that and gifts also. Somebody they said, all right, I don’t know what to give to now let’s say that person are gonna purchase, I don’t know, five, 10 classes. Somebody do one only to try. Uh, yeah. This program as well also very useful.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: It’s really nice, uh, that you, for safety side of course, uh, because you know so many writers, especially on streets, they sometimes doing some crazy stuff, uh, which is dangerous for [00:30:00] them and also for other people around them.

Like who also in motor, on motorcycles or either in the car. Um, so I think you’re doing really good, uh, thing for. Everybody, uh, you know, uh, like coaching the safety and, uh, that actually racing should happen only on racing track and, uh, exactly. Yeah. This is, uh, what I’ve been, uh, telling to people as well, uh, because it’s, it’s really funny, uh, when you in racing, uh, here’s some weird questions, um, by people who has been, uh, like interviewing you and they like, Hey, do, do you race on streets?

I’m like, no, I’m, I’m for safety. Come on. I’m just, uh, yeah. You know, I’m, come on. If I in a car, I’m trying to be safe, safe for everybody and I respect rules and uh, everything and, uh, yeah, exactly. Racing should happen only on racing track because we got like safety zones, uh, where you can [00:31:00] fall and not get any injuries.

And, uh, also that’s. Like the track to try, uh, different things. Exactly, yeah. It’s real, really good.

Ekaterina Nazarova: It’s like, it’s like a ren to ask Ren for example, or Mc Tyson, like, are you fighting on the streets? Yeah, true. Can you imagine these guys, they will go and, you know, fight on the streets with who? Are you serious?

No. No, no, man. I’m not gonna do that. No.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Can you tell me a bit more, uh, about how is it for you to be a coach for, for girls? Uh, because I think it’s a bit different. Yeah. And, um, in some racing, for example, I found that, uh, for girls it’s, uh, a little bit easier to, uh, like communicate with me. So I’ve been coaching, uh, some girls, uh, who are also streamers and they’ve been really comfortable with me.

And, uh, then tell me about this and. [00:32:00] So, how’s it for you? And, uh mm-hmm. Do you think that maybe you can build a maybe female, uh, academia or something like this?

Ekaterina Nazarova: All right. Well, um, female academia, I didn’t, I would correct you a little bit. Mm-hmm. It is like female racing team. Female racing team. I had it and planned then things are, I was too busy in work.

It just did not happen. But it’s still in my mind just a female racing team. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. But academic can, can’t stop people, you know, they want, they wanna learn. Yeah. You’re a man. Not come. No, it’s not working. Yeah. But it’s, I adore my ladies and what. I look, it’s just general. It’s not to hurt a man feeling, let’s say this way or so, but ladies, what they do, how fast they learn mm-hmm.[00:33:00]

They’re like, statistically, I cannot say a hundred percent on everybody, but it’s not a number of, um, like a minimum, uh, statistically basically. Mm-hmm. That’s what I wanna say. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. So sometimes it’s easier to say some, some things like that. So statistically, ladies are learning faster. Mm-hmm. That’s what I can ask, say. And it’s important to find the right way, right approach. I always believe that there are no bad students, there are bad teachers. Mm-hmm. So when a person can feel the student, there are no like, you know, marker or shalon or marker.

Mm-hmm. You’re gonna be going this way. And that’s how it works. First. 1, 2, 3, 4. This will never work this way for somebody, will for somebody. No, but why do you will? Well, you will struggle and struggle and exhaust other people. Mm-hmm. No, it is individual. So lady can [00:34:00] feel, you know, more of, uh, the right way, the right approach.

I can feel how she’s ready, how to make her ready, how to change her attention, move to somewhere else so she can rest mm-hmm. From this stress, which is, you know, bring out. So it’s, it’s like an art. I can say it’s, it’s hard to explain it, but with the ladies, I believe, let me put a sta couple of stars on my shoulders.

I believe I’m doing a great job with the ladies.

Yeah. I gonna say it. And I’m so proud of it. Yeah. Well, my ladies are the best. Everybody the best, but the ladies are number one.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. You know, I’m just thinking that, uh, maybe ladies, uh, learn faster because, uh, they don’t have this, uh, stereotypical, uh, thoughts in their mind, uh, about that, you know, you have to be strong. You have to be the fastest, right, right. From, uh, from the first [00:35:00] coaching session or something like this. And, um, maybe they just, uh, you know, learning step by step.

And, uh, I noticed, uh, the same when I did, uh, coaching in some racing. Uh, so the girl, uh, which I’ve been coaching for some time, she’s like, you know, listening closely and, uh, trying to do everything step by step and also communicate with me, uh, in a nice way. Yes. So it’s really cool. Yeah.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Did you notice that ladies in general, they.

Don’t have an ego, which is not to you personally, not to, to instructor, not to coach a ego within, I don’t know, something themself like they’re hurry. Mm-hmm. They know they not, maybe didn’t really understand. Maybe they’re not ready. Uh, or maybe you need just one more thing to try, you know, in between. No, they jump in.

So they jump in, they can hurt themselves, and then they get scared. They have step back and blah, blah. Mm-hmm. [00:36:00] So the ego gonna slap ladies. What I noticed, they quite, uh, they, they, they put it outside somewhere else. If, if somebody has it, they put it outside on, on the training, they’re coming, you know, pure.

Mm-hmm. So, um, that’s how they focus better. They learn better. They, they just like maybe one, two more times. More, but they will do it with feeling, you know? Mm-hmm. They close feeling first. They kind of feel better. Yeah. Like that. Did you notice something like that?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. Yeah. I think I noticed, uh, the same because, uh, you know, boys, they Harry so bad sometimes and they like Exactly.

Trying to jump over their head and, uh, yes. Yeah. As a, as a girl, you, you just trying to, you know, do everything step, step by step. Of course if you, uh, in competition you sometimes, uh, trying to jump over your head, but, uh, when you’re learning, you trying to do like everything step by step because you, uh, understand that you, that this going [00:37:00] to lead you to a good result then on the track.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Exactly. And interesting point that when people come to training, it depends on the category and blah blah, but in anyway, the condition its own trainer. Mm-hmm. Like if they listen to trainer, you are not gonna be hurt a hundred percent. Not a hundred percent. If you listen, you trainer, you’re not gonna be hurt.

Right? Yeah. And so people who is watching me, they for sure have some of their own thinking who get hurt, they did not listen. And they know about it a hundred percent. I have one person, I, maybe he can hear it if he is wearing it. So he knows, uh, they like this. Okay. Because, because, you know, the, the trainer can, can balance your speed, you know everything.

You will balance that. Even if you fall, you’re not gonna get hurt. But sometimes you need to to fall. And I hurt couple of times. Oh, many times [00:38:00] actually what they said, you know. Speed was nothing. But actually I had bruise. It’s hurting.

I’m like, yeah, but you’re okay. You’ll sit a little bit, so you’ll walk, you’ll do everything what you need to do. But yes, it’s a, it’s a learning process. You can fall and you did it, but you are, you are able, you’re not. Mm-hmm. You know, you’re able to, to be normal, don’t work and do everything. And he say, yeah, but you know, in the road I’m riding not this speed and I’m not wearing this full safety girls, you know, they’re.

It’s like awake, awakening for them. Mm-hmm. How actually feel like when the first time fall down on the training base, they already feel it. The bruise somewhere happened, you know, usually they put on the bat on somewhere else or somewhere there. Some, some bruises happening from actually like little so slow speed, so minor speed.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. [00:39:00] And it’s like a big awakening for them. It’s like a brain start to work. It’s good. Mm-hmm.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. For sure. You know, we all learning from mistakes and, uh, it, it’s okay to, you know, crash out on the racing track and, uh, do mistakes, uh, because Yes, you’re actually learning from them. Because if you fall down Yes.

With motorcycle, then you, uh, like going to, um, tell about this. Yeah. And, uh, you going to tell Yes what what’s mistakes and uh, then you go on to correct them, uh, in next sessions. Yeah, exactly. I agree with you.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Alright,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: can you tell me what’s your, uh, personal bike and, uh, like favorite, uh, to ride and why?

Ekaterina Nazarova: Okay. Well, very nice question. Thank you.

Yeah. So, uh, an all ages, an all time. My favorite bike is BMW thousand. Mm-hmm. Before it was s then it later [00:40:00] became m So it is a classic beautiful bike. I love it, but it’s not that the bike, which is I gonna enjoy on the racetrack, at least in Dubai. Alright? Mm-hmm. Because I, I didn’t try BMW on other trucks.

I didn’t really try it. So it’s today opinion. I might change it later. Yeah. But today I tried it in Dubai and I. Found out that a 600 category, which is a racing, is a much, much, much faster, much better, much everything. Amazing. So I segregated this way, BMW, it is my road bike because mm-hmm. I’m not racing on the road.

It has enough glass. Mm-hmm. Enough power. But you know, when not gonna use this power, you just have it and that’s it. You know it in your pocket, you know it. And like if you have a Ferrari, you don’t have to use the power, you know, the Ferrari, you just have it and that’s it. Mm-hmm. So I, this [00:41:00] is about, and w and it is a road bike.

So, and then I have other bike, which is a race bike. Mm-hmm. Race bike between two. I still, to be honest, don’t know, I have a Yamaha and a Kawasaki Yamaha, R six Kawasaki is a six. Six R. Mm-hmm. So between these two bikes, I still don’t know, but I know the Kawasaki, not everybody can ride. And by the way, those who ride in Kawasaki can ride any bike.

Mm-hmm. Those who is riding other bikes, they will be struggling or they might say, Kawasaki, I don’t like it. You know? So it’s not easy to ride a Kawasaki, it’s not easy to ride a Kawasaki. It’s a very moody, um, lady. Very moody, very sensitive. More than other bikes, I ride many bikes. Mm-hmm. Many, many, many, many, especially, you know, race category bikes.

Yes. Many, many. But the Kawasaki is very special. So I respect a lot of people. Everybody who rides bikes, but especially Kawasaki on the racetrack, not on the streets. On the streets are okay, but race [00:42:00] style Kawasaki who can do this, they can definitely manage any motorcycle. Mm-hmm. So yes, it’s, it’s two of my racing bikes.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, this bike’s been traveling Kiro, I send them by plane. Very cool. Days was, so we raced over there and come back. It was amazing, you know?

Yeah. That’s the, uh, my, my bikes. I love it so much. The Ducati beautiful, but, well, I never had dati as my own bike. And when I race, because there’s also like, you know, competition between Ducati and BMW, and it’s like, uh, people are to, it’s forever, forever conflict. Forever better. Not that better. This better.

Not that better. So I’m on the m BMW side and I raced, I really raced, uh, the Duc. In, in Bahrain? No, no, no, no, no. [00:43:00] Bahrain school came to Dubai. Mm-hmm. And they managed to officially with que race in, in Dubai. So I raised the Ducati. Beautiful. But m BMW a beautiful one, but I never own it, so maybe I need to own it to understand it better.

That knows,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: you know, it’s actually really nice that you mentioned, uh, BMW because, uh, uh, in people mind, they’re like, oh, BMW’s, that’s like cars. But, uh, they actually making a really nice motorcycles also. And, uh, they, they’re beautiful. So when I see motorcycle from BMW on streets, I’m like, wow. It’s, it’s really beautiful.

Love it. It

Ekaterina Nazarova: is very beautiful. You

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: see,

Ekaterina Nazarova: see? Yeah. Yeah. You don’t have really ride a bike. BMW has something, um, again, that’s always BM bmw or the ka, the cat’s beautiful. It’s, it’s a very beautiful bike, but I believe BMW, it’s [00:44:00] so much elegance, you know it. Mm-hmm. The brutal, brutal by, yeah. True. Yeah. But BMW, it has a power in glass too.

That’s it. Power in glass. It has its presence. All right. As you, you need to, maybe you need to try it one day, uh, just, you know, to, to ride a motorbike. Maybe you come to Dubai and I’m gonna put you on bike.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That sounds good. You know, actually, uh, it’s really funny. Uh, so I did ing, I did formulas, uh, and uh, like some GT cars as well.

Uh, but when in childhood I’ve been watching motor gp, I’m a big fan of Valentino. Uh, that’s why Oh yeah, that’s why I got number 46. And that’s why my nickname here is Love 46, uh, because I’ve been with this racing number for my life. So yeah, maybe I have to try motorcycle.

Ekaterina Nazarova: You are gonna ride [00:45:00] in one day.

Like one hour, one day you will be riding motorcycle. Yeah. You are not gonna go like volunteer Rosie. That’s so, I did not mention that. No, but you will be managing just to feel, what is that? When you’re riding motorbike for the first time and you know, it just listens you and you’re not scared, you know what you’re doing.

You can stop easily, you can, you know a bit, you can accelerate later. Mm-hmm. We can agree with you little because speed. Okay. Little bit. Yeah. But yeah, it’s just one day. Yeah. You know, 98% God knows that they maybe, you know, not ready, it’s too much. Whatever. But 19%.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Mm-hmm. It’s gonna be one. Yeah. You know, I’m just, uh, I’m so afraid to ride a motorcycle on streets, uh, because here.

I just moved to Elma. Uh, this is my hometown and like a lot of people, uh, got scooters here, ball, right? [00:46:00] Yeah. But you know, it’s actually the traffic and uh, whole traffic crazy. And I’m so afraid to ride motorcycle here. Uh, but you know, I’ve never been thinking that, hey, I can try it on the racing track, actually.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Uh, I see.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, you

Ekaterina Nazarova: all

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: time.

Ekaterina Nazarova: You’re welcome. But, but wise by way about Alti, I heard there’s so many bikes over there. It’s a very developed mm-hmm. You know, cultural country for a motorcycle. That’s what I heard. I never been there, but I heard, um, maybe three weeks ago or two weeks ago, I heard something like that.

Hmm. I’m like, really? Okay. Interesting. Really. Okay. So, but mind wise to you. There if you gonna try it, if you wanna search the right person, you know, for the first time, because this is the most important thing. Mm-hmm. It’s, some people might never like it because of the first experience [00:47:00] and then it’s gonna be fair.

One fall on the first class is gonna be, you know, forever changing the picture. Mm-hmm. I always say if you first time fall, or not even, especially at the beginning, first time or whatever, we don’t usually fall on first class usually. Okay. When we, because it’s a first step back. Mm-hmm. You don’t have any steps and you know, yet.

And if we have a back, it’s not good. Not good. Really. And then if for some reason her, uh, she or he not, did not jump on the bike again, the same time on the same class for any reason, God knows, maybe a hurt, maybe a bike broke and you don’t have other one. Mm-hmm. God knows. Yeah. There can be resist like that.

Then this finishing part on the fall is the worst part. Whatever, because it’s like a seed small al small seed Yeah. Of fa and it just plant it. Mm-hmm. So if [00:48:00] you’re not gonna jump on it again, it’s gonna grow. It gonna grow. And then to be big tree of fear. Mm-hmm. And then you have to deal with it. You know, it’s a lot of work to finish that.

But if it’s the same time, fall down, drink water. Okay. All good. Yellow jumping in, you jump, you jump on it. And then nothing we killed, it’s it, you know, nothing. We remove it. That’s the restaurant.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. It’s, it’s real important to have a proper, uh, first experience. I agree with you.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Yeah. It’s very important.

It’s a fun diamond. First, first, first, fun diamond. Very important. So try to search and I’m, I’m sure there are plenty of people can help you, but, but you know, see. These people, like where they train, how they train, who they train, who these people became. Mm-hmm. Like, this kind of questions are very important.

Not only this, this, this, no. Who did you teach? No. Where is these people, like how they are now? Maybe you can contact these people, listen feedback from them. Mm-hmm. It’s important. Yeah, that’s true. [00:49:00] So, uh, or come to Dubai or wait a bit, then come to Dubai. Yeah. Maybe.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: All right. Yeah. I’m

Ekaterina Nazarova: sure you’re gonna enjoy a lot.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: So as we’ve been, uh, talking about bikes, yeah. So you got like road bike and you got bikes, uh, which you riding on track and, uh, like your, um, people, uh, who’s learning from you, also writing them. Uh, can you give, uh, advice to someone who want to transition from street writing to track writing and uh, uh, what’s actually the first thing they should learn?

Ekaterina Nazarova: Okay. Good question. Well, for where to start? So much to say the first thing is not easy, but choice. Uh, again, if, if somebody from the streets wanna try a racetrack, I would advise to find a place near you in your hometown or close somewhere near somebody [00:50:00] who can help you at least one class. You know, go somebody to explain, because it is another world.

It’s not, it’s totally different from whatever street can say. It’s completely different. So, because when you will go to the racetrack, you might, you will enjoy half or maybe some percent. Mm-hmm. But if you have something before, you know, per private session, somebody who can give it to you to week and give it to radio on the plate, like.

You, then you, maybe it’s gonna be mini modelto, right? Mm-hmm. It’s, you fall mini, mini modelto is the shortest way to understand fastest, shortest, the easiest, all of the tenons in it. So the way I understand the racetrack, the physics, the everything, the sitting position. So it’s, it’s, it’s amazing. Even one class, one, mm-hmm.

Somebody carting, you can go onto carting. It’s will not be expensive. It’s probably, they will rent you, you know, the safety gears. So you can experience that. [00:51:00] And then when you go to the bakery truck, you really enjoy because they not stop you. They will never, never, never stop. You need to have some experience on the streets.

You go sign, you can rent from them, a suit, a bikes, everything you can, nobody will stop organizers. Usually they only stop those people whose complete beginners, which really struck for you, you know? Mm-hmm. Only but if you have some to experience on streets, they never stop you. How much will you enjoy over there?

You know, it is gonna be expensive in anyway, but how much, and it’s also one thing is enjoyment. Other thing is your own safety, of course. Mm-hmm. Maybe doesn’t swap them up here. This too. Yeah. The safety and then ment altogether. But if you have a. Personal session with someone. Coach. I’m not saying me. So where you live, right.

On a big bike or a mini motto. Yes. It’ll gonna be so easy first time, but you luck, you will understand. Mm-hmm. So with this knowledge, you go to the big racetrack and then [00:52:00] say, enjoy weather. That’s what I was saying. Alright. Don’t go

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: just blindly. That’s nice. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, uh, you remind me that I actually try mini motor, uh, on a car trek once.

It’s been really fun. Um, because did you know, it’s, it’s small and, uh, it’s quite easy to uh, like steer and do everything. It’s really nice. You

Ekaterina Nazarova: did it by

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: yourself? Yeah, yeah, I did it.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. That’s amazing. Okay. I did not know that. Okay. That’s super amazing. Yeah. You know, it was real

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: funny. Uh, I was in a carting suit with a carting helmet and all this stuff.

So I’ve been, uh, doing like a couple of laps.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Ben May, maybe that was not good experience because on the bike they would is you cannot be wearing the same suit, you know, because you need another Sure. Yeah. It, it’s not good suit. Alright. Because it’s leather. That’s it. Nothing else cannot be cutting suit.

No, no, no, no. But I’m glad you it.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. You know, I think [00:53:00] it’s, uh, it’s good to start from scratch. Uh, so as you said, like try mini motor and then go to the big track. Uh, because, uh, for me also, when you’ve been. Racing on a card circuit. Uh, then when I, uh, first time jump into open Wheeler, for example, uh, I was in shock.

Like, you can see anything from formula. Uh, it’s really limited view compared to, uh, to the cart. And, uh, you, you really need time to get used to the big track because it’s Of course, of course it’s different. Yeah,

Ekaterina Nazarova: of course, of course. But it’s like simulator live simulator. You from, from carting, you go to to, to what?

To the next story. I What about cars? Not so much educated, but I mean, you have a carting then after carting, there is something upgraded, right? Yeah. Some cars. Which one? Then? And then, then. So it’s, it’s like transitioning you, you will be understanding what you’re doing. You’ll have apex, you know, middle corner exit, I [00:54:00] dunno.

Entry, middle corner, exit. Apex is everything like, you know, line. It’s important where you can get it, you’ll get it the fastest way of somewhere on carting. That’s the fastest way shortcut. Course. Yeah, no, if

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: you, if you got a really good, uh, base, uh, like, uh, it, it’s going to lead you to like more experience and, uh, you’re going to learn easier, in easier way.

Um, mm-hmm. So last one. Exactly. Uh, let’s talk about your future. Um, so what’s your plans? Uh, what are you planning for this year and for upcoming years? Also, uh, are you going to stay in coaching? Are you going to stay in Dubai or are you maybe moving to other countries?

Ekaterina Nazarova: Amazing

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: question.

Ekaterina Nazarova: Well, it is so much amazing because I am really little, little bit.

Okay. I’m gonna say some secrets, but not too much. Okay. Alright. Okay. Not too much. Well, of course, here is Dubai. I’m, I’m coming back to Dubai soon. Basically. Uh, a lot to do with their, [00:55:00] uh, to, we have a lot of work with the students, those who unfinished. Mm-hmm. You know, work. We have unfinished work and we have, we didn’t start yet work.

We have a lot of work. So, uh, also the project of, um, of our ways I could have say yeah, but which has always been struggle in Dubai. I, in, I hope it’ll be, you know, a successful, I general hope it’ll work, to be honest. Mm-hmm. I’m trying something. If it’ll work, I gain hope with God help then. We’ll need to do another podcast with you.

Alright. If it’ll work. Okay. We’ll, not to say, but if not, I think it’ll be the same. And I’m kind of, I’ll say one thing in Russian. Yes.

Creator. Yeah. Yeah. So to try to translate it in English, like [00:56:00] if you want to, um, you know, entertain or make laugh, uh, God, tell him about your plan. Yeah. So I, lately, lately I do have a direction, I do have a plan, but I’ll always keep a big gap Some place. I, I don’t wanna say big or small, I will keep place for gut interference because whenever he knows, it’ll be always better than ever.

I can imagine. You know? Mm-hmm. That’s it. So I, I open this door complete. Yes. The rest, we’re gonna just work, teach people safe lives, you know, inspire, make dreams. True again, bikes. Nothing else. I don’t see myself in painting, however, I’m a tattoo artist. But so far this became for me, more, far, more, far, more far.

I’m sold with bikes, bike bikes. Yes. And also what I see here in Russia, um, currently in Cdar, a lot of bikes, PE people are unfortunately a lot of situations not good here. Not really nice to, to [00:57:00] mention. I feel that they also need some help. Mm-hmm. So I maybe will see how can I make it in those places one year.

Mm-hmm. And one there.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Right. So you got a good plan.

Ekaterina Nazarova: That’s a plan.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, that’s a plan. You know, I really like, uh, to go with. You got, you got a plan. Uh, but you kind of go in with the flow. So if you mm-hmm. Get some like side opportunities, you’re like, Hey, maybe I can try this. Yeah, why not? So it’s, it’s not in my plan, but why not?

Exactly. Yeah. It’s real nice. Yeah. Just to be

Ekaterina Nazarova: it, it’s a fate. I say good faith, believe in a good thing. Open your heart. When it’s open, the right, the right thing will just reach you. You, it’s like opening, not the heart. Open your eyes. You see, you enter. That’s it. The right, the right things. Good people and everything.

Yeah. I became lately so much con, connected to God, connected to something. You know that one? [00:58:00] Yeah.
