He played and developed in Partizan, historically one of the most successful water polo clubs in the world and widely regarded as the strongest youth development system in sport.

As a member of Partizan, he won multiple Serbian Championships and Cups, as well as international titles across major youth tournaments. He later advanced to compete professionally in the Serbian Super League, Adriatic League, and European competitions before continuing his career in the NCAA at Salem University, where he has earned All-American and All-Conference First Team honors, multiple Offensive Player of the Week awards, and Academic All-Team recognition. He was also named to the Cutino Award Watch List, placing him among the top collegiate water polo players in the United States.

Marko has represented Serbia across several youth national team age groups, gaining firsthand experience in elite training environments. Competing at the highest levels of European and collegiate water polo has given him a deep understanding of what young athletes need to progress, improve, and prepare for the demands of high-level play. This background now shapes his coaching approach and his commitment to helping the next generation reach their full potential.
