Become a Better Orienteer with Personalised Online Coaching!

I am a political refugee from Belarus, currently living in Poland, offering personalised online training in orienteering. 

Whether you're an intermediate or advanced orienteer, I can help you enhance your navigation skills and overall performance.
The number of available spots is limited.


Here’s what I can offer:

  • Flexible Training Plans: I create customised programs focused on the technical aspects of orienteering, taking into account your strengths and weaknesses in navigation. This approach allows us to prioritise the improvement of your weakest areas first, ensuring more effective progress in your skills. Please note that my services do not include physical training plans.
  • Terrain Workouts: I plan sessions on the terrain to enhance your navigational abilities. 
  • On-Table Exercises: I provide and evaluate technical exercises that you can complete from home to improve your map-reading and decision-making skills.
  • Detailed Performance Analysis: I offer a comprehensive review of your previous performances to help you learn and grow from your experiences.
This training is available for individuals or groups, including beginner coaches with their athletes. Limited spots available! 

My Background and Experience

I have nearly 40 years of experience in orienteering. As a coach, I have worked with athletes of various ages and skill levels. Some results were in the TOP 30 in World Cup stages.

I am also the author of the book "Confident Orienteering: A Systematic Approach to Minimising Errors. Book 1: Fundamentals" was published last year. The book has already been translated into four languages in addition to the original English, with three more translations in progress. I am currently working on Book 2 of this practical guide.

 I’m also the creator and co-author of the Facebook group "Orienteering Technical Trainings," one of the largest groups dedicated to orienteering. For more detailed information about my background and expertise, please visit the "About Me" section of my blog

Starting Our Collaboration

Start with a Free Introductory Meeting (90 minutes) to discuss your package, which typically includes 10 one-hour sesions based on my Approach to navigation, "Confident Orienteering," for 300 euros. This can be adjusted based on your level and goals. Pricing for small groups will be discussed separately. 

 During these one-on-one sessions, we will directly refer to your experiences, including mistakes and successful decisions from previous courses, which will help you better grasp the material.

These 10 sessions are paid upfront, and you can receive a full refund if you're not satisfied with my services before the fourth session. After completing these lectures, we will create a personalised training plan tailored to your needs.

Training will begin no earlier than November.

Two new o-books are coming this fall!

  Two new o-books are coming this fall! Confident Orienteering: A Systematic Approach to Minimising Errors Book 1: Fundamentals was released in October 2023 and has already been translated into 7 languages , alongside the original English version. It had 8 chapters and 140 pages , and I’m still amazed at how warmly it was received by orienteers all over the world. 🌍 As we continued working on the next part of this complete practical guide , it became clear the project had grown into something massive — not least because of the huge number of examples and illustrations included throughout (they are about 250). At this stage, we’re leaning towards splitting the material into two logical volumes to make it easier for readers to absorb step by step. This isn’t a final decision yet, and even the titles below are working titles – but right now, this feels like the most reader-friendly approach: 📖 Book 2 (working title): Planning Reliable Routes – how to design routes that accoun...

Book 2 Nears the Finish Line

  Book 2 Nears the Finish Line Editors Ross Barnett and Clive Allen are now in the final stage of polishing Confident Orienteering Book 2: Planning Reliable Routes . Ross has already done two full read-throughs, which put me on an emotional high – and it’s still going! Clive has started the final proofread before layout. My wife, Svetlana (the book designer), and I are wrapping up the explanatory graphics for the illustrations. The test readers have also finished reading all the chapters. I’ll share their feedback once we start the layout phase. If all goes well, in about two weeks we’ll begin laying out Book 2. The goal is to release it in late September or early October. Fingers crossed everything runs smoothly in these last weeks. Work on Book 3 (Routes executing) is also moving fast. Only two chapters are left – and then the whole Practical Guide  'Confident Orienteering: A Systematic Approach to Minimising Errors' will be complete.  Editing is already underway on...
