General
OTHER ACTIVITIES
He has served as a youth table tennis coach at the STKI Synergia club in Samobor, Croatia. "I am working a lot with children with impairments as a coach and thinking about my path - the crises, mistakes and difficulties during training and everyday life, and the fact that I never felt different than others. I was obviously aware that I walk differently, but I didn't feel sorry for myself, I didn't take advantage of my impairment and I didn't shut down. I had a normal daily life and that reflected in sports as well." (ssoizz.hr, 22 Dec 2020; hkm.hr, 16 Jul 2020)
