Janko Tipsarevic launched his comeback at the Australian Open empowered by a mission statement: Don't be a coward—follow your dreams.

Now, the former world No. 8 is sharing the wisdom and experienced he's gained throughout his 17-year career with young athletes around the world.

Tisparevic, the son of a college professor, is engaging juniors and fans with a four-week, online mastermind course.

The 2011 US Open quarterfinalist has launched Succeed With Janko.com an interactive mastermind program inviting aspiring young athletes from around the world, to join him live; asking questions and absorbing the wisdom from the lessons of Janko’s inspiring journey and how to build resilience and overcome adversity.

Tipsarevic heads a world-class academy; his online mastermind course is aiming to help athletes struggling with mental issues on court rather than technical skills.

“I am a firm believer that to become a professional athlete and a world number one, a player needs more than the skill of their game," Tipsarevic said. "They need the resilience, determination and mindset to hit the big goals needed to succeed. But this is not something that many young athletes are supported with.

"Many sporting matches have been won or lost before any players have stepped out to compete. The most successful athletes are able to master their high performance.”

[Don’t be a Coward - Follow your Dreams] - It takes courage to relentlessly pursue your passions. It’s much easier to just let life go by and stay in your comfort zone. - But, my friends the comfort zone is not where your dreams are realised - champions embrace the discomfort and challenge themselves out of comfort! - This year, I made a commitment to relentlessly follow my passions: 1. Comeback to Professional Tennis; & 2. Share my experiences with aspiring athletes to inspire and challenge them to be the best that they can. - I’m sure you are all aware of my comeback to tennis, but I’ve also been working relentlessly behind the scenes to build my first Mastermind - ‘Succeed with Janko’. - Those that register get access to an exclusive group with me and like minded individuals. You will also get access to four live masterminds where I will be sharing stories live and you will be able to ask me any questions (no question is off limit!) - 2019 can be your turning point. Don’t be a coward - set some big goals for this year! If you’re interested in joining the Mastermind click the link in my profile (there are only a few places left!).
