Igor Čerenšek was not on the public list of sports psychologists in 2017, and he was not on it according to the 2026 check either. This is a documented line through time, based solely on public records, without concluding that he is currently working without a license.
On August 29, 2016, the Croatian Psychological Association published a list of licensed sports psychologists and emphasized the difference between psychologists with a special license and people without one.
On September 16, 2016, the Croatian Psychological Chamber and the Croatian Psychological Association held a conference explaining the purpose of regulation: user protection, professional competence, and continuing education.
On February 6, 2017, the Chamber distanced itself from Igor Čerenšek's work and public appearances. According to the statement, he did not then have a special license for the field of psychological preparation of athletes.
On February 9, 2017, Anđelko Botica, president of the Committee for Special Licenses, said that Čerenšek should not have used the title without a license. The following day, Čerenšek said himself that he did not call himself a sports psychologist.
Igor Čerenšek was not listed on the Chamber's public list of sports psychologists when it was checked on August 9, 2026. The list is public and available to anyone, and recording the date of the check is part of using the record correctly.
This finding shows the state of the public register on that date. By itself, it does not prove that Čerenšek has no other qualifications or that his status has not changed.
The licensing framework was governed by the Regulation on Licenses of December 15, 2018. The regulation distinguishes between a basic and a special license; the special license concerns a field, including sports.
Under the current regulation on specializations, a specialization in the field of sports is acquired through education, supervised practice, and an examination. This creates a public framework for work in the field.
The public record supports precise, dated statements: he did not have a special license in 2017, and he was not on the public list in 2026. These are verifiable facts from published sources.
It does not support combining those points into one permanent statement about his status between the two dates. Changes may have occurred between checks that the public record does not show; that is why the check is performed on the relevant day.
