Building Athletes From the Inside Out

I am passionate about guiding athletes on how to: navigate challenging emotions, cultivate their self confidence (both inside and outside the arena), develop and maintain relationships with their teammates and coaches (by teaching them interpersonal skills that follow through to their careers and beyond) and above all, to help them find their purpose in life.

What is Inner Winner

Inner Winner is helping athletes build a more meaningful lifestyle through their athletic journey. It is helping them find lasting purpose beyond the sport.

Inner Winner is a mindset coaching platform created to help athletes unlock their full potential - mentally and emotionally.

Through personalized coaching, workshops, and mental training, I guide athletes to build confidence, resilience, and lasting joy in their sport that will, like sport does, affect and help all the other areas of their life. 

It’s not just about winning the game - it’s about winning within.

About Me

Hi, I’m Nadja Novakovic; a former D1 and professional athlete turned coach, mentor, and sport-psychologist.

 

​I am originally from Belgrade, Serbia and where I spent entire childhood around sports. I know firsthand how sport can shape a young person’s confidence, character, and identity. Today, I combine my background in psychology, coaching, and leadership to help athletes think stronger, feel balanced, and compete & train with deeper and lasting purpose.

​

My mission is to help them become stronger humans, not just better performers.
