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.

  Case Study #4 Case: You ran onto a narrow ride slightly below its end and are unsure which of several similar rides you are on.   Solution: In this situation, the relief profile can assist us. Even if the rides themselves appear similar, the relief profile along each ride differs , providing valuable clues for accurate positioning. This approach is discussed in Chapter 3 ( Using All the Indicators for Confident Positioning ) of the book Planning Reliable Routes . It demonstrates that relief can be used not only when we are uncertain about our current location , but also proactively during route planning . By analysing the map in advance, we can identify segments where linear features intersect with relief forms , creating distinct and easily recognisable points. These can serve as reliable positioning features . Additionally, flat areas and transitions between slopes and level terrain can also support effective location verification. (Example taken from my book Plann...

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #21

  Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #21 Today we will take a look at Leg 5–6 from the M18 Long Distance course at the   Novembertävlingarna, lång event (23.11.2025) Organising club Tullinge SK (Sweden) In the M18 class, the most successful route choices used a less distinct path running between the hills. In general, the approach to the control could be planned either contouring around the hillside or crossing over the top . This decision largely influenced the entire route choice on this leg. Interestingly, both of these approaches were used by the fastest runners on this leg (Carl-Meijer Axelsson and Jonathan Enarsson) — and both produced very similar results . The athlete who placed 3rd on this leg - Ivar Nordberg (and eventually 3rd overall ) most likely made a mistake. After reaching the top of the hill , he deviated down toward the open field — a move that doesn't seem justified. Most likely, he lost direction while descending the slope. This leg also ...

New o-book is coming this fall!

  New O-Book 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 seven languages , alongside the original English edition. With 8 chapters and 140 pages, it introduced the core concepts of the author's navigation system — and I’m still amazed at how warmly it was received by orienteers around the world. 🌍 As we continued working on the next part of this practical guide, it became clear that the project had grown into something much bigger — not least because of the sheer number of examples and illustrations included throughout (around 250 in total!). To make the material easier to absorb, we’re now leaning towards splitting it into two volumes , each with its own clear focus. This isn’t a final decision yet, and even the titles below are working titles — but right now, this structure feels like the most reader-friendly option: 📖 Book 2 (working title...
