BOOTCAMP 2022
by Jorik Hendrickx

Head coach:

Jorik Hendrickx

To improve your basic skills and technique on the ice!

For years Jorik skated at the highest level in which he participated in no fewer than 7 European and 5 World Championships. The 4^th place in 2017 at the European Championship is perhaps his most successful result. Two participations in the Winter Olympics, Sochi 2014 and PyeongChang 2018, also make him an experienced Olympian.

After ending his active career as a figure skater, he switched to coaching. Jorik is extremely passionate and highly motivated in transferring his knowledge and experience to other skaters. This is once again proven by the great results achieved by Loena Hendrickx. Since Jorik took on the role of head coach for his sister Loena, Jorik has already guided her to a Bronze medal at the Grand Prix of Italy in 2021, a great 4th place at the European Championships in 2022 and an honorable 8th position at the Olympic Games of 2022 in Beijing China. With his skating camps, Jorik also inspires and helps other figure skaters to achieve their goals.
