question regarding application of the Jensen Inequality from the book challenge and thrill of Pre college mathematics

Following is the picture my approach to proove the inequality.

my approach...sorry or the bad handwriting !

Can anyone please check if my proof is acceptable...i feel that this is an elegant proof.

If there is any error, a detailed explanation would be helpful and appreciated.

Thank you

The step $$\frac{n}{1-\frac{(a_1+...+a_n)^2}{n^2}}\geq\frac{n}{1-\frac{a_1^2+...+a_n^2}{n}}$$ is wrong: it should be $$\frac{n}{1-\frac{(a_1+...+a_n)^2}{n^2}}\leq\frac{n}{1-\frac{a_1^2+...+a_n^2}{n}},$$ which does not help.

My solution.

$$\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{a_i}{1-a_i^2}-\frac{na}{1-a^2}=\sum_{i=1}^n\left(\frac{a_i}{1-a_i^2}-\frac{a}{1-a^2}\right)=\frac{1}{1-a^2}\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{(a_i-a)(aa_i+1)}{1-a_i^2}=$$ $$=\frac{1}{1-a^2}\sum_{i=1}^n\left(\frac{(a_i-a)(aa_i+1)}{1-a_i^2}-\frac{(a_i^2-a^2)(a^2+1)}{2a(1-a^2)}\right)=$$ $$=\frac{1}{2a(1-a^2)^2}\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{(a_i-a)^2(a_i^2+(2a^3+a^2+2a)a_i+3a^2-1)}{1-a_i^2}\geq0.$$
