FEATURED JOURNEY

A career evolved. The relationship stayed.

Anis Mehmeti

Anis became a part of the Jusball family back in 2020 during a difficult year for the world in general when Covid 19 disrupted the lives of the entire nation.

Anis had no professional club and at the time was playing in step six at a club called Woodford Town.

Having been at professional clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Norwich and Fulham Academy as a youngster it was fair to say he had lost direction in his career and was at a low point.

Benefiting from building a high performance team around him he achieved a successful trial at Wycombe wanderers and had a break through season into their first team at 20 years old under manager Gareth Ainsworth at the time.

Through our professional athlete mentoring program Anis began to take an amazing trajectory in his career and made his professional debut in the championship and from there went from strength to strength.

Through the ups and downs, challenges and fears Anis is now enjoying his career at Ipswich Town FC in the premier league. He is a great example of how building a high performance team around you as a professional athlete and being open to an expert processes designed by professional athlete mentors at Jusball you can maximise the potential of your talent and achieve greatness.
