Coaching

Coaching someone (even yourself) for a competition is a great experience, but also a big responsability. The clients must totally trust a coach,otherwise the stress and the final results will be below the
expactations. The most crucial moments for a coach are for sure the periods few weeks before the competition and in particular the last week/day,when all the stress and feelings came out of the athlete.
I've been coaching since 2004. At the begining I was a lot in the powerlifting world, so I coached only for powerlifting competitions with some great results (few national champs and national records in bench and deadlift)
My first experience as a coach in bodybuilding was in 2010, when I take over my frend for his first competition. Since then I have regular clients every year. Here are some of the athletes in my team(Sport & Fit / Abp TEAM):

Andrej is a holder of the IPF national record in deadlift (90kg category) - 266 kg @ 87kg bw

Marko is a pure talent in strenght. He competed in powerlifting and bodybuilding competitions and holds a GPA national record in bench press - 206 kg @ 108kg bw

In bodybuilding competition he held a 2nd place in the 2012 IBFF world championship

Gianfranco is the biggest talent for bodybuilding out here. His structure,muscle mass and the ability to improve (although he's a lazy guy:)) are amazing. He won the athletic title and the overall fitness title in the 2012 IBFF world championship and the bodyclassic category in the IFBB maxximum open. Last year he gained some weight and debuted in bodybuilding category. He won another 1st place in the IFBB Maxximum open in Slovenia and a 3rd place in the IBFF world championship in Taranto,Italy.
