Yury Tsyrkunov: Journey, Education, and Approach to Working with Children

I create an environment where a child opens up through movement, attention, and respect. Training is only one part. The main thing is the journey we take together.

MY STORY & JOURNEY

How I Came to Work with Children: From Music and Football to a Profession

I went to a regular school. My mom took me to football, and from age six I was already chasing the ball. At the same time I studied at a music school (accordion), can sing and write songs. Music is still a part of my life.

On my parents’ advice I earned a basic business education: a degree in Business & Technology Management (logistics/economics) and a master’s in supply-chain management.

Sport was always beside me. I began coaching kids, and over time it became my main work. I founded the Young Tiger club — a space for growth, friendship, and movement. Years later, feeling burnout, I paused.

I met Polina, we got married, and moved to Dubai. Here I keep learning — from child psychology to adaptive physical education. Now I’m about the child: a mentor and coach who is there in sport, in life, and in the child’s heart.

MY FOCUS

Who I Work with Most Often

I run sessions for all ages — from toddlers to teens. But even more important is building a connection with parents. We don’t just train; we meet, discuss, and find solutions together. This isn’t classes by schedule — it’s a shared journey.
