Dr. Viatcheslav Popovsky's Background
Dr. Popovsky began his distinguished academic career at the Lesgaft as a baccalaureate candidate. His research into unique and innovative methods for scientifically coaching and developing young volleyball athletes qualified him to become one of only ten students selected annually to pursue a doctoral degree. As the scientific techniques he pioneered and refined contributed to the development of Olympic athletes (including the 1980 women's gold medal Olympic team), he advanced steadily through the ranks of Lesgalt professionals rising to the top of the organization.
At the height of his career, Dr. Popovsky was responsible for disseminating the Lesgaft programs throughout Russia --- into the public school system, into colleges and universities, and into businesses and health clubs. In addition, some of his programs were extended into other Eastern block countries, such as Bulgaria.
In America, Dr. Popovsky founded the Russian/American Physical Culture Institute to combing the best of what both East and West have to offer in the physical culture field.

Nothing is more empowering than achieving personal physical culture goals. Improvement in one's physical body is an affirmation of what can be done elsewhere in one's life. Success in one's wellness program reminds us how successful we can be in everything we do.
