It’s All About The Pro Fundamentals
I’m here to help high achievers stop sabotaging their performance and health so they can be the best leaders they can be.
As a former top 100 world-ranked tennis player, 2-time Stanford All-American national champion, and team captain, I’ve had to refocus on specific pro fundamentals many times in my life in order to deal with adversity and setbacks — and to sustain peak performance.
Whether it was my serve, a painful losing streak, feeling alone on the tennis circuit, or career threatening injuries that almost ended my pro career prematurely, I learned — time and time again — that there was so much more to success than lifting a trophy.
As a coach and entrepreneur, I've also experienced my fair share of setbacks — but each time I've learned and refined how to access my zone of excellence by dialing in my physical, mental, and emotional health.
When my pro tennis career ended, I found my true calling as a coach, a mentor,
and a speaker.
Upon my retirement from pro tennis, I went all in to help my brother recover from his deep struggle with alcohol and drug addiction — and found a true purpose in helping others hone in on the fundamentals required to optimize their well-being and live their best lives.
Now, I work with leaders and visionaries ranging from CEOs,executives, founders, entrepreneurs, elite athletes, and leadership teams as a professional speaker and performance coach dedicated to helping others manage the immense pressure in their personal and professional lives. I help these high performers play offense instead of defense so they can tap into their potential.
A little bit more about me:
I started playing tennis at just 4 years old, and went on to become a Top 100 ATP singles and doubles player and Rookie of the Year by Tennis Week magazine.
+
I’ve played in the main draw of all four majors (Wimbledon, French Open, Australian Open, and the U.S. Open).
+
I've competed and played with some of the best players in the world including Pete Sampras, Michael Chang, Patrick Rafter, Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and more.
