I’m Mladen Jovanović, PhD — a performance coach, sports scientist, and system builder who works at the intersection of training, analytics, and real-world coaching. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve coached and consulted in elite environments worldwide, including the Port Adelaide Football Club (Australia), Aspire Academy (Qatar), and Hammarby IF (Sweden).

These days I work across football and combat sports, supporting coaches and athletes with strength & conditioning, long-term preparation models, and practical solutions for managing training in chaotic, high-variability environments. My work is grounded in Agile Periodization — an approach that blends sports science with iterative planning, monitoring, and decision-making.

I also developed tools used by coaches worldwide, including Strength Card Builder, ClusteringPro, and a range of manuals, templates, and training frameworks. Through complementarytraining.com and the Agile Periodization Skool community, I share ongoing projects, models, and resources focused on clarity, structure, and sustainable performance.

My goal is simple: Create tools and systems that help coaches think better, plan better, and keep athletes progressing without breaking.



If anything here supports your work, I’m glad it serves you.
