Andrej is Croatia’s most successful long distance triathlete with 3 international ironman distance wins, 3 podiums at Ironman races and ETU European Champion title. He went up the ranks from a total beginner to becoming European Long Distance Triathlon champion in 2013, so he has went through all stages of athlete development. The passion he still has for racing is matched by the passion he has for helping others achieve their goals. His biggest coaching influence came from Brett Sutton and his assistant coach Joseph Spindler who helped him achieve his racing goals. In 2017 he completed coaching certification at Trisutto and is working as one of Trisutto coaches since then.
