Description

Are you pushing yourself toward high performance at the risk of burnout? In this episode, Melissa sits down with Jeff Salzenstein, a former top-100 tennis player turned high-performance coach. Years as a professional athlete pushed Jeff to his limits. His body eventually forced him to stop, revealing the cost of pursuing excellence without alignment. That experience shaped the mindset and frameworks he now uses to help others navigate pressure, setbacks, and transformation.

 

Jeff shares how facing extreme challenges, personal setbacks, and the isolation of elite competition taught him lessons about resilience, focus, and alignment. Through his story, you’ll discover how capacity under pressure, intentional practice, and deliberate coaching can turn struggles into sustainable growth.
