  • Great life lessons and tennis!

    This podcast is an excellent listen for anyone interested in sports psychology in general and tennis psychology in particular. But it does more than that. The show has great recommendations for books about performance and excellence in general which are very useful. Every episode I have listened to has taught me something about how to approach my career (which sadly is not in sports) or my life. It’s very motivational and helpful! Thank you for a great show. I am learning a lot.

  • Always a Good Listen

    I have really loved this podcast for a while! Being a coach and player there’s a need for growth and putting in the work mentally used to be the hardest part for me. When I need to recenter my mindset or even want insight of how I can think differently around tennis these days, I come here for a listen.

    I sent you guys an email from my work email address and really hope to hear back!

    Thanks for everything,

    Joyce
