He took up the sport in Dubrovnik, Croatia. (fina.org, 28 Jun 2019)

"My father has a great deal of credit because as a young kid I went to water polo matches quite often and watched dad and so I fell in love with the sport. Besides, when I was playing in the early years, my dad usually came to watch my matches. However, Dubrovnik as a town also equally deserves the credit because water polo is the no.1 sport here, and most children try to practise this sport." (fina.org, 28 Jun 2019)

SPECIAL FEELING
He says that playing for both the national team and his club VK Jug provide him with a special feeling. "Playing in the national team always gives some special adrenaline boost. Maybe one of the reasons for that is that the national team does not play that often, we do not play every week in the national team, so it carries a bigger glow. However, the club in which I play, VK Jug, is an exception because most of the players lining up here week by week are guys who have been raised in this club. The relationship with the club is not just a professional one, that you are a contracted member of a team who earns his living here. This is more. It's a similar bond to what you feel in the national team. It's about affiliation." (fina.org, 28 Jun 2019)
