At the Net with Head Coach Aljosa Piric

Head Coach Aljosa Piric

Bosnia is the country where I was born.

I was raised in Bosnia and the United States.

I started playing tennis with my dad, when I was five.

When I played tennis as a child, I pretended to be Goran Ivanišević.

Leaving Bosnia was tough.

I came to the United States because of the Civil War.

I coach because I love it.

My most memorable moment playing tennis happened to be my first tournament in the U.S.

I’ll never forget the day my children were born.

To be a Miami Hurricane is awesome.

My goal is to be a great father, husband and coach.

I’ve learned perseverance is the key to success.

I’m motivated by seeing others succeed.

To me the U means unity.

Nobody knows I can ski. I have been skiing since the age of six.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a professional tennis player.

My favorite quote is one said by Og Mandino. “Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.”

Away from tennis, I like to spend time with my family.

The most influential person in my life is Christ.
