I was born in the city of Backa Topola in Serbia. I had always great famous basketball idols from my childhood beside the Yugoslavian/Serbia-Montenegrin/Serbian national team even in my home city too like for example Mladjan Silobad (Winner of Euroleague). I started coaching basketball when I was nearly 20 years old. I played for several basketball clubs but I made the decision early in my life to put my focus on coaching. I felt from the beginning that this is what I wanted to do.

To get big knowledge I visited lot of camps, travelled a lot to attend on Serbian and foreign basketball clinics and I had great former Yugoslavian Super League Head Coach mentor in my first Serbian club where I spent 9 years.

I enjoy the most about the coaching when I am feeling development at my players training by training. I am pushing that they need to become more motivated and more eager to work more and fight for their goals, for their club, for the community. After coming the most hardest thing in basketball: to build a real team! Players need to understand they need to make sacrifices for the team, club, community and just after to think about their individual goals. The good team is that when every player is helping and fixing the team mate’s mistake without saying any critic.
