He grew up in football at the ND Gorica Club Academy, where he was given the opportunity to look into the first league team. The chance to play in the highest Slovenian competition came in the colors of NK Radomlje, but his injury prematurely stopped his career.

He started his career as a goalie coach  in the club ND Gorica, where he worked first as a goalie coach and then as a coordinator of the whole goalkeeper section. He also works for the Slovenian Football Federation. Today he looks after goalkeepers in the team under eighteen years. "In three years, we managed to raise seven goalkeepers for the youth team in Gorica," Stergulc said.

The young Slovenian goalie coach had a presentation year ago at the ApportGarda conference in Italy, the largest conference of its kind in Europe.
