In this episode, host Kirk Spahn sits down with rising WTA tennis star and ICL Academy student Iva Jovic for a deep, inspiring conversation about purpose, perseverance, and finding joy in the grind. Iva shares how the stillness of the COVID-19 lockdown sparked her love of tennis and how that spark ignited a journey from hitting balls on public basketball courts to winning international titles and making her mark on the pro circuit.
Together, they explore Iva’s development through the Six P’s framework—Passion, Purpose, Process, People, Perseverance, and Perspective—and how she balances an elite tennis career with a meaningful academic path at ICL. From winning the Easter Bowl and the Orange Bowl to playing Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, Iva reflects on lessons learned, the power of mentorship, and her growing commitment to empowering women in sports.
This episode is a masterclass in mindset, humility, and ambition. Whether you're a student, an athlete, or someone chasing your own dream, Iva’s story will leave you motivated to push just a little harder—and believe a little more.
