Anti-violence advocate Igor Juric shared the video and announced that his team expects to fie a criminal complaint against the coach.

“I can say that I am mildly shocked, regardless of the many terrible things we have seen, this has left the strongest impression so far,” Juric said.

He added, “The reason for this violent behavior was allegedly that one of the coaches, who was working with her at that moment, said that she did not put in enough effort and that she did not want to move, i.e., to do what was asked of her. Allegedly, this was the reason for this crude and brutal violence that happened.”

People on social media additionally reached out to Serbian tennis player and legend of the sport Novak Djokovic to help pursue justice against the abusive father.
