Tennis is my passion and way of life. I started to play tennis when I was 5 years old, and since then tennis has been my way of living. Before becoming a coach for professional tennis players, I competed for more than 10 years at many different levels.
Now that I am a tennis coach, I can say that tennis is not only technique on the court – it encompasses many other aspects of life such as physical and mental strength, but also determination and motivation. Tennis helped me create discipline in my life. It is my passion and I love sharing my knowledge and expertise with all people who are willing to try or advance in tennis.

Biography
15 years of experience as tennis coach, conditioning trainer and sparring partner
Bacc.cin., University of Zagreb Faculty of Kinesiology – univ.dipl.cin.

Ever since I was in kindergarten, I needed a lot of movement, spending time outdoors and playing. My parents had a great influence on me because they were athletes, and they taught me about setting an example and healthy eating. Actually, they were my role models in everything. Back in elementary school I played a lot of sports (tennis, karate, football, volleyball, table tennis, skiing…), my parents allowed me to pursue all of my interests. That’s why I was always healthy, smiling and always cheerful – other children were happy to hang out with me. In high school, I already knew that I wanted to graduate from the Faculty of Kinesiology and teach children.
I work with children because I find it very rewarding and it makes me happy. Sports connect people and teach you to be responsible, independent and cooperative. Athletes have a high value in society. Besides developing motor skills and knowledge, they also develop their cognitive abilities and self-confidence while constantly improving both mentally and emotionally.
