Bachelor (appl.) Sports Manager and Master (appl.) Coach in Sports
Strength, conditioning, functional fitness and outdoor activities coach
Bojan is a sports manager and coach with many years of experience working with recreational athletes, youth and athletes, specialized in strength development, conditioning and functional training.
His professional journey began in 2006 through personal involvement in sports, while since 2011 he has been actively working in a sports-tactical environment – first through his service in the Serbian Armed Forces as a military police officer and later as a licensed fitness and conditioning coach.
He directed his formal education towards sports, where he completed a study program for Bachelor (appl.) Sports Manager, with his final thesis on the topic “Security Provision and Risk Management at Sports Competitions” under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Branko Bošković (then the school director), receiving a grade of 10 (study average grade 8.00).
After that, he completed his master studies and obtained the title Master (appl.) Coach in Sports at the College of Vocational Studies for Coaches in Subotica (2025), with an average grade of 9.93 and a master thesis on the topic “Functional Training and Altitude Adaptations: Preparation for Mountain Tours in High-Altitude Conditions”, which was graded 10. Previously, he continued his professional development at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Belgrade, where he obtained the title of Sports Coach of Fitness and Sports Recreation (Level 3).
He holds certificates from relevant European and national organizations (EREPS, NASM, IUSCA), as well as a work permit issued by the Association “Sport for All” of Serbia.
Through his academic and practical work, he is particularly focused on functional training and altitude adaptations, combining scientific training principles with personal experience gained through work and time spent in nature and demanding conditions. As a coach, Bojan applies a functional approach based on modern scientific principles, using equipment characteristic of functional training and CrossFit.
His work covers different environments – from gyms and fitness centers to individual and outdoor training sessions in nature. The programs he creates are focused on the development of endurance, coordination and mental strength, with special emphasis on proper technique and functional use of the body. Although he most often works with recreational athletes, he is particularly dedicated to working with young athletes, where he focuses on education, injury prevention and the development of sports potential.
He conducts personal and functional training sessions in modernly equipped fitness centers in Cerak, Belgrade. In addition to physical preparation, he pays great attention to educating trainees – proper exercise performance, understanding the anatomy and function of the muscular system, as well as the basics of nutrition and body adaptation. He believes that discipline is the foundation of every success, which he adopted during his military days and applies today in his work with clients.
In addition to coaching, he is active on Instagram, where he shares advice, exercise demonstrations and educational content from the fields of sports, health and physical preparation. He is a nature and outdoor activity enthusiast – in his free time, he engages in hiking, trekking, camping, as well as technically more demanding disciplines such as via ferrata, mountaineering, canyoning and speleology.
For more than 20 years, he has worked part-time as an independent hiking guide, leading groups through the mountain regions of Serbia, especially in summer conditions, where he combines physical preparation with time spent in nature through his association for adventure and recreational activities.
