My name is Tom. I've been working as a National Junior Orienteering Team coach since 2015. I've been running through countless different forests, parks and cities since 1994. I've always been passionate about this wonderful sport and I'm extremely curious about all the tiny details that make orienteering so hard and so fun at the same time if you know what I mean :) Please join me on the journey of creating a place where everyone can learn from the best. Learning is a neverending story, let's make it fun! :) You can also check out our podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wcHuX9...
