If you are eager to improve your orienteering in order to become a top elite athlete or if you just want to sharpen your o-skills to enjoy and succeed difficult terrains and courses, you came to the right place.

In the season 2026 I will take more athletes for the personal coaching. The victories and success in orienteering begins with bringing orienteering technique to the top level. That’s why I opened Smart Orienteering, where I teach an elite orienteering technique. Here is what it means. Orienteering technique is a system. Complex, logic and sequential, from the moment you take map till the finish line. It is possible to learn it, practice it, nail it and run with control and flow, as fast as your shape allows. This is the orienteering technique that makes your orienteering safe and smooth, and the technique that everyone is able to learn. The technique that not only brought me to the World Champion titles but also made my performance in orienteering very stable through many years. I competed and tested myself in 4 continents, in very specific terrains, and the system has been nailed during my 20 years of international experience. You get access to my best knowledge, prepared and structured.

There are many reasons to start working on your orienteering skills.
If you feel that:

• you often face the situation at the competitions that you are lost or not sure where you are and where to go and just out of control of your orienteering
• you often feel a mess at the beginning or during the course and often not sure what to do, especially when you are stressed at the important competitions
• you feel that sometimes your mistakes and result are unpredictable
• you have a good shape, but you still lose to your rivals due to mistakes or if you feel it is difficult to find where the loss is actually happening and how to change it
• you want to have a balance between physical and technical preparation in order to reach your targets
• you want to grow in orienteering but you never thought the orienteering is a system that is possible to learn

If you feel that this is about you, welcome to SMART orienteering! To be a champion, learn from World Champion!

We don’t fight with mistakes, we build up your orienteering system.

I offer coaching of orienteering technique or both technique and physical preparation. If you want to have a balance in your preparation between physical shape and technical skills you can choose the complex coaching.

Is success in orienteering possible without working on psychology of orienteering? No. It is said that the elite level or orienteering is a competition of athlete’s psyche. Dreams, stress, expectations, pressure, excitement, fears – all of that the athletes need to handle while executing the course on the highest technical level. I have answers about emotions, dealing with pressure, and ability to perform on top level in any stressful situation. My experience is from my own 20 years career and many World and European championships, World Cups, my work with other athletes. We will work on psychology of orienteering with you, and I give you my best knowledge in it.

What does the service include?

• weekly meetings analyzing your orienteering (races, trainings, etc)
• 4 meetings in a month with the possibility to increase the amount of meetings (useful during the competitions)
• up to 2 personal technical trainings I prepare specially for you depending on what you need to improve in your orienteering(can be theoretical or practical or both)
