Bernhard "Berni" Schödler (born October 2, 1971 in St. Moritz ) is the former trainer of the Swiss national ski jumping team . From 2008 to 2010 he worked as assistant coach of the Russian national ski jumping team. It was in 2010 Schödler discipline boss in the ski area at the Swiss Ski Association Swiss-Ski , before the post of Director of the race in March 2020 FIS for the Continental Cup and the Junior World Championships took over.

Career

Schödler grew up in the Engadin and is a trained carpenter. After many injury problems, he ended his active career as a ski jumper at the age of 22. He could never reach the points in the World Cup and therefore competed primarily in other series of competitions. His best result was fourth place in February 1992 at the European Cup jumping competition in Szczyrk . From 1997 to 2007 he was the coach of the Swiss national team.

In 2002 Simon Ammann was elected two-time Olympic champion and Schödler was named Swiss Trainer of the Year .

His most successful season as a coach was the 2006/07 season . Simon Ammann already achieved second place at the start in Kuusamo (FIN). Just one week later, Ammann won the World Cup in Lillehammer (NOR) ahead of Andreas Küttel . This was the first Swiss double victory in the history of the Ski Jumping World Cup and further confirmation for Berni Schödler. Very good ranks were still achieved, including third place for Simon Ammann in the overall ranking of the Four Hills Tournament . At every competition on this tour, a Swiss man stood on the podium. In the meantime, the Swiss team even came in second in the overall team ranking.

The highlight of the season followed at the world championships in Sapporo (JPN), where Simon Ammann won the world championship title on the large hill and the vice world championship title on the small hill. At the end of the season, Berni Schödler and his team were able to celebrate third place in the overall team standings and third place in the individual standings for Simon Ammann.

In spring 2007, Berni Schödler announced his resignation as national coach to work as a coach in the Swiss youth sector. This junior squad will consist of the best 15 to 17-year-olds, who are to be combined into a training group in Einsiedeln and introduced to the World Cup. The national team was continued by Werner Schuster .

At the end of the 2007/08 season he announced that he would take a position as a junior coach in the team of Russian ski jumpers in order to introduce junior jumpers to the World Cup. After his return in 2010, Schödler became head of discipline ski jumping at the Swiss Ski Association. In March 2020 he took over the post of race director of the FIS for the Continental Cup and the Junior World Championships .

Schödler lives in the canton of St. Gallen and is married.
