Andrius completed his sports medicine training at the University of Vilnius in Lithuania. He has worked with elite and recreational athletes to improve their wellbeing and injury management.

As part of his academic journey, Andrius worked with the New Zealand Sailing Team and helped them to prepare for the 2022 Tokyo Olympic Games.
