Episode Description from the Publisher

There's a video going around from the Laver Cup practice court. Alcaraz walks over to Zverev and asks — I was watching at home. What were you thinking at the end of that US Open final?You won and you didn't even know you won.And Zverev says — I thought it was four-one. Not five-two. Because if I think five-two I get nervous. So I just played the next point.One point at a time. Two Grand Slam champions on a practice court. Thirty seconds. That's the whole secret.In this episode I break down exactly what that means — and why it's not just how Zverev won the US Open. It's how I won the Australian Open while my wife had just left me for someoneelse. It's how Alcaraz came off the court smiling after losing a five-hour match while he was sick.It's how Federer lost nearly half the points he ever played and still became the greatest. And it'sthe lesson I try to teach every player I coach — because one day they won't be facing a break point. They'll be facing life.
