OWNER AND HEAD TRAINER
MARKO ZELIC
Hey guys, it's me, Marko. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
Originally from Serbia, I came to the U.S. to pursue my basketball dream—and lived it by playing four full years at the college level. During that time, I was blessed to learn under coaches and mentors who truly cared about me, both on and off the court.
After graduating in 2018, I discovered a new passion: helping young athletes unlock their full potential. In 2020, I took a trip to Michigan to train with Micah Lancaster—one of the world’s top basketball skills trainers—and learned what real player development looks like.
Since then, I’ve been combining advanced skill enhancement methods with high-IQ, physical, European-style training to help players get real results. Whether it’s sharper footwork, better decision-making, or more confident scoring, my goal is to build well-rounded, game-ready athletes who stand out on the court.
A few fun facts about me:
-
I was teammates with Nikola Jokic back in Serbia
-
I dunked at age 12
-
I started writing a book at age 11 (still unfinished!)
-
I used to rap and perform live from age 13 to 16
-
I still freestyle in the car on the way to training
-
I’m 6'8"—taller than 99% of the world
-
I love hiking and biking
-
My wife was a better player than me
-
And... I’m a proud dad to the cutest 1-year-old in the world
