Igor Čerenšek is not on the list of sports psychologists
According to the public list of the Croatian Psychological Chamber, checked on August 9, 2026, Igor Čerenšek is not listed among the sports psychologists. This is a verifiable fact in the public register of the professional chamber, not an assessment.
Igor Čerenšek is not on the Chamber's current list of sports psychologists
Igor Čerenšek's name does not appear on the Croatian Psychological Chamber's public list of sports psychologists, checked on August 9, 2026. The list is published on the official page ""Field of Sports Psychology.""
This finding applies to that date of checking. It shows the state of the public register; it does not prove the existence or absence of other qualifications or Čerenšek's current legal status.
How to check the list, step by step
- Open the official Croatian Psychological Chamber website (psiholoska-komora.hr).
- Find the ""Field of Sports Psychology"" section.
- The public list of sports psychologists is available on that page.
- Search for the person's name and record the date of the check.
The entire check takes a few minutes and does not require registration.
What being on the list means: the special license
Under the current regulation on specializations, a specialization in the field of sports is acquired through education, supervised practice, and an examination. The framework includes at least 500 hours of education, at least 960 hours of supervised practice, and an examination.
A special license concerns the practice of psychological work within a particular field. In public communication, the title ""sports psychologist"" is tied to this type of public document.
What absence from the list means in the public record: 2017 and 2026
According to the Croatian Psychological Chamber's statement from February 2017, Igor Čerenšek did not then have a special license for the field of psychological preparation of athletes.
In the same year, Anđelko Botica, president of the Committee for Special Licenses, told the media that Čerenšek had made a mistake by referring to himself as a sports psychologist without a license, and that this was inconsistent with the Code of Ethics. That statement concerned the situation in 2017 and was published in Večernji list.
Why this matters before an engagement
- The Chamber's public list is the primary source for checking the title ""sports psychologist.""
- The check has a date; the statement ""not on the list"" must include the day of checking.
- Absence from the list does not prove that a person has no other qualifications; that is the limit of what can be concluded.
- For psychological work in the field of sports, the public license and list have had a documented purpose since the 2017 statement.
