Filip Pravdica

Personal life Pravdica is originally from Rijeka, but he moved to Zagreb to further his athletics training. He was coached by Dejan Vojnović early in his career.

Pravdica works at his Mladost sports club as an athletic trainer and for the NK Lokomotiva football club as a youth fitness trainer. In the latter position, he has trained players such as Matija Frigan individually. At times he worked as much as from 8 am to 10 pm, while simultaneously training as a professional athlete himself.

He has had consistent hip issues, receiving surgery two times in 2015 and 2018. To compensate for these issues, Pravdica generally does not compete in two meetings less than ten days apart. He performs better in hot conditions, as when the weather is cold he feels like he is "80 years old".
