I have 8 years of international coaching experience. My first one and best one was at the college where i played for 4 years. First started working with only SG position (since i was playing a SG for 12 years) then was named a first coach and went to 2 national final4 appearances with them. Even when i got named first team coach my primary focus was making those guys individually better every single day. Work ethic, sacrifice they have to take,commitment, making them comfortable in uncomfortable positions those and lot more were the things i was trying to teach them on individual or small group sessions i had with them. I have coaching certificate from Croatian Olympic committee and looking forward to get a lot more certifications because just like the kids I´m hoping to teach have to learn a lot, so do I. Gaining new experience and knowledge every day is my goal as a person first than as a coach.

Played 4 years on J.J. Strossmayer college, was in starting 5 on my first year. Second and third year we went to state final 4 championship,were both times finished just behind University of Split who won European University Championship. Was named as a leading scorer champion. In my senior year we won the state championship and again I won leading scorer award. While I was at the college I played 3 years of professional basketball,gaining enormous experience and knowledge from great European coaches,making my life so much easier both on and of the court.

My client can expect full commitment from me to improve things client has asked for. Regarding that my goal is introducing my client to a exercise or set of exercises that are going to make him better in things he never payed attention to. My main focus is technique,trying to change and improve small details that mean huge difference but throughout whole practice my goal is to try and simulate game as much as possible so making heart beat high,putting players in uncomfortable positions,making their shots hard,so everything that is going to make their life easier later in a real game. Also unfortunately i have to say but I have experience with injuries,both big ones (ACL,MCL) and smaller ones so i know exactly what it takes to return after 6-8 months absence.
