Q&A

Q: If you had one tip for young orienteers what would it be?
A: Always believe in yourself! It can be easy to make a big mistake in a race and lose motivation but if you learn from your mistakes and keep working hard you'll be able to do amazing in your next race!
Q: What aspect of orienteering keep you interested and motivated to stay involved, train, and compete?
A: I've always had so much fun with the problem solving aspect of orienteering. When I see I found a faster route choice that other people didn't see I'm really proud of myself and when I miss a good route choice I really like learning from that mistake. I'm always motivated to improve and that's why I'm always excited to orienteer.
