Bert Tippi - your coach

Bert has enjoyed sport all his conscious life. Growing up in a small rural town, he had to find many activities on his own. Bert has been exposed to a wide range of sports, which is how he found skiing at the age of 10. In 2014 he graduated with a Master's degree from the University of Tartu and has currently been working as a ski coach at CFC Sports Club for the last 10 years. Bert has completed 9 Tartu marathons and a number of Estoloppet marathons, while enjoying competing very much himself. Last year he also managed to achieve 2nd place in the marathon race at the European Championships. This year he also managed to bring his marathon record under two and a half hours. Bert said: I don't live with sport, sport lives with me!

Enjoying the process or the finish?

Talking about goals often focuses on the outcome, but the real value lies in the process. If we focus only on the finish, we can become bored and empty. A sporting journey can be made enjoyable by noticing small moments of joy, learning and feeling gratitude. The results will come naturally if we enjoy the journey.
