The NSW Stingers are delighted to announce that former Swiss junior coach Renate Leuenberger-Widmer will be their coach for 2021.
"Reni" brings incredible qualifications and experience to the role. She has a Masters Degree in Human Movement and Sport and taught science and physical education.
As an orienteering coach, she guided regional teams in her native Switzerland for several years, and coached the Swiss Junior Team for 2 years, during which they won 10 gold medals at the 2016 & 2017 Junior World Championships.
She recently relocated to Australia with her husband, David, and son Nino, and has joined the Bennelong Northside club.
Orienteering NSW is excited to appoint a coach of such calibre, and we're sure her expertise and enthusiasm will be of great benefit to our top level squad.
The Stingers compete in the National Orienteering League. In 2021, NOL rounds are in Victoria (March), NSW (Easter), South Australia (April) and ACT (May).
