My name is Liza Kostina (Coach Liza). I’m a professional rhythmic gymnastics coach, Master of Sport, and former athlete with 15 years of experience. I trained at the Olympic Training Center in Moscow and was a winner and medalist in numerous competitions.
In my coaching, I rely not only on personal experience but also on scientific knowledge in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, helping athletes achieve strong results safely and effectively.
