Welcome to Ilkka Jylhänkangas!
We are pleased to have secured a very accomplished coach from Finland as Ilkka Jylhänkangas joined us in August as the new coach of the Nordic Combined National team.
Ilkka was the Nordic combined and ski-jumping head coach for the Kajaani Sports Club Junior Team, the best ski-jumping club in Finland’s junior championships in 2007. He was a trainer for Finland’s Nordic-combined Junior and B-Cup teams and was coach and teacher at the Sports Institute in Vuokatti and High School in Kajaani. He is trained as a Sports Instructor and has a Masters Degree in Sports Science and Healthcare. Former coach Jon Servold says that "bringing Ilkka here is very exciting for our club as he brings ‘state-of-the-art' ski jumping and nordic combined knowledge and training methodologies. He will challenge us and help us in taking that next step upwards.”
