Further to the launch of Thriving Clubs for a New Generation, British Orienteering is setting out to Strengthen Lifelong Pathways for those involved in Orienteering.

To support our work on this key theme, we have partnered with the University of Essex, who will be conducting a research study entitled ‘Learning from and for coaching: Understanding the coaching journeys and biographical learning of British Orienteering coaches’.

We would like to invite coaches and those who are or have been involved in coaching orienteering to share their stories via the online survey and help us understand different coaching journeys within our sport.  The survey will take between 20-30mins to complete, and the more detail you can provide the more insightful it will be.

The number of orienteering coaches is not huge so every individual’s experience will teach us something.  Whether you already hold a qualification, or not, and whether you are currently active or have been in the past, your input is valuable and very welcome.
