I went at both MVPsand learned from it.

VASILIJE MIČIĆ

Matched up against Vasilije in league play before he became the best point guard in Europe. Guarded his pick-and-rolls, saw his reads up close — and stole every lesson useful for the players I coach now.

NIKOLA JOKIĆ

Guarded Nikola in Serbian league play before Denver. Learned what you can't teach — pace, feel, patience — from being on the wrong end of it. Now I coach players how to punish the moments he exposed in me.

Private basketball coaching — Cleveland / North East Ohio
About · The short version

Partizan roots. Coaching in the 216.

I joined Partizan Škola Košarke at 13–14 years old — the basketball school of one of Europe's most demanding clubs — and earned my way up through the youth ranks. With that jersey I won trophies at every level we played for, from cadets to juniors.

That's where I learned what great coaching looks like. It's not drills on a whiteboard. It's standards. Now I'm running private sessions out of the Cleveland / NEO area — every player who books gets the full Partizan standard, from the first rep.

03The method

Four steps, every session.

01
Watch the tape
We start with your last three games. What's working, what's breaking down, what the defense is taking away.
02
Isolate the flaw
Every player has one or two leaks. We find yours — footwork, load, decision speed — and drill it until it's gone.
03
Put it at game speed
Clean reps don't mean anything if they don't survive contact. We rebuild it live against pressure.
04
Send the homework
You leave with a short clip and three things to hit on your own. No filler. Just the next rep.
