Coaching
Sports play a very important role in my life. I played competitive soccer for over15 playing, but I also loved playing basketball, tennis, table-tennis, squash, skiing and many other sports.
I consider sports and physical activities a very important part of a child's psychophysical development.
In 2010 I was assigned to be the MS Boys Soccer coach at a local international schools tournament with teams from 5 other International Schools from Belgrade. After 15 years of actively playing soccer, it was my first time participating in a game - as a coach! After a few heart-attack games, we came back home with a 1st place trophy - the first one ever for our school's soccer team.
IT WAS A FABULOUS FEELING!
From that day on, I was honoured to coach boys and girls in different sports. In my coaching career I have coached :
Soccer - MS Boys, HS Boys, HS Girls
Basketball - MS Girls, HS Girls
Volleyball - MS Boys, HS Boys, HS Girls
As a coach, I was participating in many local and international tournaments and won more than half of them. Nevertheless, coaching became one of my great passions and I always try to transfer my love for sports to the boys and girls that I coach.
Closely assisting the Athletic Directors has helped me become familiar with the administrative aspects of an AD position. Also, participating in various CEESA, SISAC, PRC, and ACAMIS activities in the past has given me the opportunity to communicate with Athletic Directors around the World. This gave me a great insight into all of their duties and responsibilities and I have built very positive relationships with all of them. I have organized a number of tournaments and athletic events as well as social events for visiting students, coaches, and teachers.
Since 2002 I have organized numerous sports tournaments in Belgrade. Most of them were humanitarian fundraisers.
I am proud to be responsible for creating successful teams that won over 20 tournaments, whereas some of them were groundbreaking ones. What makes me the proudest is that I have been involved in creating a positive team atmosphere that often grew into school spirit. Students take amazing memories from both practices, games, and tournaments, and very often those moments are the highlights of their school time.
