Painting by Semak Oleh

Coach lives high in the mountains, where the air is thin and thoughts are sharp. He chose the path of a guide — a silent mentor who doesn’t teach but awakens. His gaze cuts through fear and doubt, and each word strikes like a blade through the fog of the mind. Dressed in a striped garment that evokes both prison garb and a monk’s robe, he serves as a reminder: liberation requires discipline. People cross mountain passes not in search of advice, but for the blow that will transform them forever.
