In a country steeped in athletic tradition, Artem Shishin is quietly revolutionizing the way athletes are trained, nourished, and managed. With a career that spans competitive tennis, academic research, and sports education, Shishin exemplifies the power of blending practice with evidence-based science to build not just athletes - but future champions.
Born on February 1, 1993, in Novocheboksarsk, Russia, Artem's early immersion into the world of tennis laid the groundwork for a lifelong commitment to sport. His formal education at the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth, and Tourism equipped him with a strong foundation in physical culture. Over the years, he would further refine his expertise through international coaching certifications, including PTR (Professional Tennis Registry) credentials and specialized training in Croatia.
Athletic Insight Backed by Scientific Precision
While many coaches rely solely on experience, Artem complements his practical know-how with scientific inquiry. His research into youth athletic development sheds light on one of sports science's most complex challenges - how to design optimal training regimens for young athletes.
In his comprehensive study on training programs for young track and field athletes, Artem conducted a detailed comparative analysis of different developmental approaches. He focused on the critical stage of early athletic formation - where physical foundations are laid, and long-term potential is either nurtured or lost.
His research revealed that a holistic, multi-sport training approach - emphasizing flexibility, endurance, and skill variety - consistently outperforms rigid, specialized programs. The study calls for a reimagining of early sports education, encouraging coaches to prioritize general physical conditioning and delayed specialization for better long-term outcomes.
Building Champions from the Inside Out
Artem's work also dives into sports nutrition, with a sharp focus on endurance disciplines. In his study titled 'Features of Sports Nutrition for Long-Distance Runners Across an Annual Training Cycle,' he explores how dietary strategies can be synchronized with athletic workloads to optimize performance and recovery.
Through data-driven experimentation, he developed nutritional models that are adaptive to training phases, recommending specific macronutrient intake during recovery, peak training, and competition. His emphasis on glycogen replenishment, micronutrient balance, and targeted supplementation form a practical guide for athletes and coaches striving for measurable improvements in endurance performance.
This research doesn't remain theoretical. Artem applies these findings in real-time coaching scenarios, making his athletes both stronger and smarter about how they fuel their performance.
Rethinking Fitness: Management as a Competitive Advantage
But Shishin's scope goes even further. His third major research venture focused on the management side of the fitness industry, analyzing two very different facilities in Novocheboksarsk - Spartak Master and Youth Sports School #1. His insights offer a rare look into the operational heartbeat of sports organizations.
By combining consumer behavior analysis with on-site audits, Artem identified key success factors for sports facilities, including user experience design, staff training, program diversity, and strategic pricing models. His work demonstrates how management excellence can directly elevate athletic outcomes and organizational sustainability.
For a country like Russia, where fitness is still transitioning from elite luxury to public necessity, Artem's findings offer a blueprint for how clubs can scale responsibly while retaining quality.
Grassroots Leadership and Regional Impact
Beyond academia and coaching, Artem is a hands-on leader in the regional sports community. As an active member of the Tennis Federation of the Chuvash Republic, he plays a pivotal role in organizing competitions, training events, and youth outreach programs.
His masterclasses - hosted both in Russia and internationally - are highly regarded for their dynamic approach, integrating motivational psychology, technical refinement, and modern coaching methodology. Whether he's guiding a child through their first serve or presenting research to peers, Artem maintains an educator's heart and a strategist's mind.
Paying Tribute to His Mentors
Artem is the first to acknowledge the support systems that have helped shape his journey. He extends sincere thanks to Roman Prokhorsky for his partnership in organizing events and facilitating research logistics. He also credits his first coach, Natalia Prokhorskaya, with inspiring his love for tennis and laying the foundation of his discipline.
And at the core of it all is family - his mother, Elvira Shishina, whose unwavering encouragement instilled in Artem a lasting passion for sports and personal growth.
About Artem Shishin
Artem Shishin represents a new era of coaching and athletic science in Russia - one where success is built on data, discipline, and a deep understanding of human potential. By wearing the hats of coach, researcher, and innovator, he is shaping a future where athletes are not just faster or stronger, but smarter, healthier, and more holistically developed.
As Russia continues to evolve its approach to physical culture, names like Artem Shishin are leading the charge - turning regional initiatives into models of national excellence.

Gethin Jones suffering after witnessing 'absolute spectacle' while on break from BBC Morning Live

Welsh TV presenter Gethin Jones has admitted he's 'feeling a bit dusty' after what he described as an unforgettable night for Welsh sport, watching two huge wins unfold back-to-back. The BBC Morning Live star is currently in Melbourne, where he caught both the Wales Women's rugby victory over Australia and the British & Irish Lions' dramatic series-clinching win at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) - a night he dubbed an 'absolute spectacle'. Taking to Instagram, Gethin shared his excitement and also hinted at the celebrations that followed.

Watching the women's @welshrugbyunion beat Australia… and then the absolute spectacle at the @mcg – @britishandirishlions clinch the series in dramatic fashion! 'Hats off them! (Wish I had) A bit dusty this morning!' Their win was partly down to Jac Morgan, who helped secure their dramatic win by clearing out Australia's Carlo Tizzano at the breakdown in the dying moments, allowing the team to retain possession and set up Hugo Keenan's match-winning try. You can read more about this here. Gethin is a passionate supporter of Welsh sport and often shares updates from matches, training camps, and major fixtures. But even by his own standards, Saturday night seemed like a night to remember, as Wales Women also stunned the Wallaroos in a nail biting game before the Lions sealed their series. Gethin shared a picture of himself in the crowd alongside some friends, as well as a selfie taken in a bar, with him and two others all beaming at the camera. It's been a busy week for the Welsh presenter, as he visited Cardiff just a few weeks ago to talk about his new role as the Chef de Mission for Team Wales ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Speaking about his latest venture, he said: 'To be trusted in this role is a huge responsibility and the focus I've seen in the last few months since I've come on board has been mind-blowing. 'Everyone striving for excellence from performance to organisational operations and everything in between has been amazing.' He continued: 'When I see someone achieve their very best performance, when it really matters under pressure, that's what inspires me. 'That will go with us into Glasgow, and of course as it has been the case for the last few cycles as well, what truly matters is how we hold ourselves.'

David Raya praises 15yo Arsenal duo Dowman & Salmon

David Raya has praised 15-year-old duo Marli Salmon and Max Dowman, after the pair made their pre-season debuts for the Arsenal first team this week. Photo via Dowman on Instagram Arsenal youth duo Marli Salmon and Max Dowman made their unofficial debuts for Mikel Arteta's first team in Wednesday's friendly match against AC Milan, coming off the bench to help the team see out a 1-0 win. Speaking in the days after that game, David Raya admitted he's been impressed with the youngsters on tour so far. 'I think the young lads (stood out to me),' Raya said. 'Obviously Marli [Salmon] and Max [Dowman], they're just 15 years old and they look like they've been with us for so many years. 'Such a young age to play with Arsenal, and to come on tour with the first team of Arsenal is incredible. So those two have been magnificent.' Photo via Despite being easily the youngest players on the pitch, Salmon and Dowman rarely looked it. The two were composed in possession, and Salmon showed his abilities off the ball up against some tough opponents. Arteta likely won't hesitate to give the pair further chances as pre-season progresses, particularly with Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber still not available for selection. Salmon will be needed to make up the numbers, if nothing else. Then with Noni Madueke not joining pre-season until Arsenal return from Asia, Dowman will be a useful option as an alternative to Bukayo Saka on the right. Photo via Premier League on Instagram The one other young player who was involved against AC Milan was Josh Nichols, coming on at right-back to replace Ben White. Nichols' situation isn't quite the same as the other two, as he's 19 years old (as of Saturday) and he already made his competitive debut for Arsenal last season. But the defender was still very impressive in his limited minutes against Milan, and he deserves credit for that after a while out injured. Nichols pointed out on Instagram that he'd had a four-month wait since his previous Arsenal appearance, but those watching all agreed he didn't look rusty.

New wheelchair sports hub opens in Carmarthenshire

A new wheelchair sports hub is helping to break down barriers and promote active lifestyles. The hub is based at St Clears Leisure Centre in Carmarthenshire and forms part of Actif's Focus Sport Programme. It offers weekly inclusive sessions for people of all abilities to get involved in wheelchair sports, regardless of whether they use a wheelchair in daily life. Councillor Hazel Evans, cabinet member for regeneration, leisure, culture and tourism, said: "We're proud to support this exciting new initiative that champions inclusion and community participation. "The St Clears hub shows what's possible when we work together to create opportunities that truly welcome everyone, regardless of ability. "It's not just about sport – it's about building confidence, friendships, and a stronger, more inclusive Carmarthenshire." The sessions are delivered in partnership with Basketball Wales, Disability Sport Wales, and the Scarlets Community Foundation. Participants can try wheelchair basketball, tennis, and rugby on a three-week rotation. Sessions take place every Wednesday at 5pm, with all equipment—including sports wheelchairs—provided. While the hub is designed primarily for wheelchair users, able-bodied participants are also encouraged to take part, making it a space where family and friends can enjoy the experience together. Hywel Thomas, basketball focus sport lead for Actif, said: "This new hub is a fantastic step forward for inclusive sport in Carmarthenshire. "We want to give everyone, regardless of ability or experience, the opportunity to try wheelchair sports, have fun, and build confidence. "Thanks to our partners, we're able to provide a high-quality experience that's accessible to all." The sessions aim to promote physical activity, inclusion, and community engagement in a supportive and welcoming environment. Anyone interested in taking part can sign up via the Actif app or contact the Actif Communities team for more information.
