COACH GORAN.
"I was a shy kid growing up.
I never excelled in any specific area nor did I have the confidence to try to. Not until I took up basketball and fell in love with it. I learned that with hard work and discipline I could advance quickly through the ranks and that’s what I did. I chased my dream to play pro knowing full well I started very late, only going to my first rep tryout when I turned 18. Although I have enjoyed a great playing career and I have seen the world, I was restricted by my lack of knowledge of how to further my development. Now that I’m winding down my playing days I want to help others who are on their path to achieving their dreams and give them the tools I was lacking. To be honest I just want to be around the game that I love and share that love and passion with others."
