I'm a Passionate Orienteering Coach
Orienteering is a huge part of my life. My wife has been doing orienteering for as long as I have. Our daughter is in it too, naturally. When we have a trip with no orienteering planned, it’s a rare exception 🙂
I’m passionate about this sport because it’s so difficult, hard to master, and requires a lot of focused, specific training. It’s like a puzzle and every person has different pieces to put together.
Why you can trust me?
- I have 6 years of experience working as a coach with the National Team.
- I have 27 years of experience in orienteering.
- I have 14 years of experience as an orienteering coach in my sport club.
- I know all the important details of getting ready for the most important start of the season.
- I know what the athletes are dealing with in terms of stress and pressure and how to solve these challenges.
- I know the fastest way of improving your orienteering skills and I will share them with you.
- I’m running a professional YouTube channel on orienteering.
"I feel like I'm a special person to have met Tomasz. I quickly realized how experienced and passionate he is about orienteering, speaks excellent English and has an enjoyable personality. After a pleasant but thorough introduction, he provided me with incredibly useful advice within a short time. His immeasurable amount of knowledge and psychological sense helped me through many difficulties. Not only he provided me with a bomb of motivation, but he also managed treating my mental deficiencies, and built into me a stong competition mentality and technical confidence before an important world competition (JWOC). I think that I wouldn't have been able to perform like this without the advices. His words were in my head even at the start line and during the course. There are no words how grateful I am!"
"I was very lucky that I could work with Tom during my adventure with Orienteering. When Tom became the coach of the national team, the training camps began to look different. We've been training in the forest, but he taught us how to work "dry" with the map and with ourselves. Sports results come not only from pure running, but also from working with oneself, with stress, with habits. I am glad that he taught us about it.
I still use these elements in my training.
I won the gold medal at EYOC in 2016 when Tom was my personal trainer. This speaks for itself
