REFERENCES
“I was the best Dejan Srzic’s pupil. Here is why. Even when I was formed as a player I listened everything what he used to tell me because I knew that every single correction can bring me one point more. I learned a lot from Dejan during 3 years in Aris and I’m very grateful. We stayed in touch with the same mission –connecting young people and basketball, what Dejan does excellent, best in Europe.“
Nick Galis

(The best Greek player of all time. Member
of Basketball Hall of Fame and one of the
best European players of all time)
I was a member of “Stefanel” when I first shook Srzic’s hand at junior’s preparations
in Poland. He is a very successful coach, especially when working with younger categories. Numerous medals are also his credits. Full of great energy and knowledge, Dejan is always there to mark the talents.“
Dejan Bodiroga
Former Serbian International player
(Two time's the MVP of Euroleague, MVP of World Championship in 1998. Played for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Panathinaikos)
“When I was 30 years old I still had to learn a lot from Dejan, an excellent teacher. I always listen to Dejan’s suggestions.
Although I already had 30 years, Susla insisted that we work on fundamentals, especially on shot fake, penetration and passing. After that, I played the best 7 years of my career and significantly improved my technique. Coach Dejan Srzic -Susla is in my opinion, the best coach for individual development of young players in this areas. ”

TESTIMONIALS
PARENTS TESTIMONIALS
“Coach Susla is a representative of the Yugoslavian
basketball school, Individual development of young players
is his speciality, that is where coach Susla is a master.
His working methodology is specific in the sense that he evaluates the player and selects specific area of technic he needs to improve, before he starts developing him. Susla has coached my sons Mitja and Aleksej Nikolić, three months working with them on shooting technique is something that two of them have never forgotten, methodology, correction and repetition are his secrets. Coach Susla definitely helped them reach the next level and for that we are grateful.
I would recommend Hoop Talents Basketball Academy and coach Susla to every young player, as his method of work
and his experience will for sure help them become better players.“ - father David Nikolic
