THE PROGRAMMEIs this the next step for you?
For motivated orienteers with a solid training background and experience at national Junior or Elite level, preferably aged 18–35. You should have access to maps for 2–3 technical sessions per week and time for training and recovery alongside work or studies.
We start with your training history, strengths and the situations where you lose time, then connect that picture to your target races. Coaching is available worldwide through a shared diary and weekly online meetings.
You do not need to have everything figured out. Be ready to train consistently, share feedback and ask questions. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, tell me about it.
WHAT IS INCLUDEDWhat the programme includes.
Season planning
A season plan that connects your main and secondary goals, training phases, camps and recovery periods.
Weekly training
Individual endurance, strength and complementary training, adjusted to your level, available time and response to the previous work.
Technical development
Sessions with specific technical targets, progressing from manageable practice to decisions at race speed and in less familiar terrain.
Analysis & weekly meeting
A weekly online conversation supported by your diary, maps and race analysis. We identify useful patterns and agree the next priorities.
Competition preparation
Preparation using old maps, courses and tracking, with attention to terrain, route choice, race routines and the demands of your main goals.
Training camp opportunities
Access to training opportunities through Maximus and Sun-O, with free or reduced-cost options depending on the camp and arrangements.
HOW WE WORKA clear purpose. An honest review.
Plan the work
Turn your season priorities into a realistic week, with a clear target for each session.
Train & record
Record what happened and how it felt. Your comments give the numbers and GPS tracks their meaning.
Review & adapt
In our weekly meeting, we discuss training and races, answer your questions and agree what to keep, change or test.
You should understand the work, not simply complete it. Tell me about the difficult days too. They often show us what needs attention.
FROM ANALYSIS TO ACTIONLosing time near the control? Start here.
We compare your account of the leg with the map and tracking. Was the plan clear? Was your final reference reliable? Where did direction or map contact begin to drift?
Choose a reliable final reference, check direction and identify what you expect to see before attacking the control.
Once that routine is stable, we vary the terrain and increase the pace, then check whether it holds on unfamiliar legs. My ACE framework helps us locate the problem and choose the next step. “Focus more” becomes something you can actually practise.
YOUR COACHHi, I’m Raúl.
You work directly with me. Bring your questions, your doubts and your own view of the week. I’ll bring preparation, honest feedback and experience from club and international orienteering. Together, we turn that conversation into work you understand and can use.
FEES & COMMITMENTA full season of personal coaching.
€150 / month
The standard agreement runs for 12 months. Either the athlete or the coach may end the agreement after the first three months.
Alternative agreements can be discussed before starting the programme. The coaching agreement sets out the fees, payment arrangements and working framework.
A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONSA few things you may be wondering.
Can our cooperation remain private?
Yes. Enquiries are private and confidential, and we can work together on the same basis. You do not need to appear on the website or social media. We agree your preferences before starting.
Can I combine this with work or studies?
Yes. Your commitments are part of the planning. What matters is having enough time to train consistently and recover properly.
Are training camps included in the monthly fee?
Camp opportunities may be free or involve reduced additional costs. The arrangements depend on the camp, so we clarify the details before you make plans.
