Biography
Roman Yakovlev began to engage in volleyball at the age of 9 years in the Kharkov sports school under the guidance of coach Lyubov Mikhailovna Korenko [1] . In 1992, he made his debut in the Kharkov “Locomotive” in the major league championship of Ukraine . In the same year he entered the Kharkov Law Academy . In 1994, as part of Lokomotiv, he won the gold medal of the Ukrainian championship, and the next season, speaking for the Lokomotiv farm team, Yurakademiya, he won the first Ukrainian league.
In the same 1995, due to disagreements with the coach, he was expelled from Yurakademia, doubted the feasibility of further volleyball, but he was soon invited by Gennady Shipulin to Belogorye together with a whole group of newcomers. Yakovlev received Russian citizenship, transferred to the Faculty of Law of the Pedagogical University [2] .
As part of Belogorye-Dynamo, Roman Yakovlev twice, in 1997 and 1998, became the champion of Russia. On May 15, 1998 in Lipetsk, he held the first official match for the Russian national team , in which she played with the Polish team in the World League and lost 2–3. In general, the debut tournament for Yakovlev (and Shipulin as the head coach of the national team) was successful - the Russian team took 2nd place, and Yakovlev was recognized as the best serveer of the “Final Four”. In November 1998, he participated in the World Cup in Japan .
In the 1998/99 season, Roman Yakovlev became the most productive player in the Russian championship [3] . He held the next World League draw unconvincingly and in July 1999 he was expelled from the national team. The athlete was not called to the training camp before the European Championships , did not go to a series of friendly matches in Finland , and trained at the club. After a couple of months, the coaches still changed their anger to mercy, returning Yakovlev to the team [4] .
For the decisive matches of the European Championship in Vienna , which culminated in the silver success of the national team, he won the starting lineup from Alexander Gerasimov , and the last start of the season - the World Cup in Japan - became the benefit of Roman Yakovlev. On average, he scored 20 points per match; on the penultimate day of the tournament, in a game with the hosts of the competition, which lasted only three games, brought his team 30 points.

In the fall of 1999, Yakovlev began performing in the Italian Championship . His first club on the Apennines was an outsider in the A1 series Forlì. The entire game of this team was built through the Russian diagonal, and it is no coincidence that it was he who eventually became the most productive player in the Italian league and was recognized as the best player in the championship according to La Gazzetta dello Sport . In 2000, as part of the Russian national team, Roman Yakovlev won the silver medal of the Olympic Games in Sydney , simultaneously setting the Russian record for the speed of flight of the ball at the pitch, which amounted to 125 km / h [6] .

In the season 2008/09 he played in the Premier League “A” for “Dynamo Yantar” , after which he moved to Dynamo Moscow . Largely thanks to Yakovlev, who earned his place in the Dynamo starting lineup, the metropolitan club, uncertainly entering the season, eventually became the bronze medalist of the Super League and reached the Champions League final [9] .
In the summer of 2011, Roman Yakovlev moved from Dynamo Moscow to Krasnodar and was elected captain in the new team. In October of the same year, for the first time after the 2003 European Championship, he received a call to the Russian national team, entered the application for the World Cup [10] [11] and for the second time in his career became the winner of this tournament. In total, he spent 142 matches for the Russian national team, scored 1655 points and 487 played innings [12] .

In August 2014, he signed a contract with Ural for one season, but four months later left the Ufa team [13] and ended the season with Nova [14] , which helped him win a ticket to the Super League.
In May 2015, Roman Yakovlev announced the completion of a player’s career and accepted the offer to transfer to the position of head coach at Dynamo Moscow [15] . Since 2017, he worked as a club breeder. In February 2018, he entered the coaching staff of the New Urengoy Torch [16] .
