Sabalenka’s Coach, Jason Stacy, Gets Honest About Pressure, Struggles & 2026 Wimbledon Loss 🐯8 sep59 min

What is it really like coaching one of the best tennis players in the world and helping them handle the pressure that comes with it?

In this episode, we sit down with Jason Stacy, performance coach to Aryna Sabalenka, and not only talk about his new book, The Pressure Code, but the lessons he’s learned through coaching, competition, and life.

Jason also takes us behind the scenes of working with one of the biggest stars in professional tennis and shares his perspective on handling pressure, overcoming setbacks, building confidence, and learning from difficult experiences. We get honest about Aryna Sabalenka’s 2026 tennis season, including some of the challenges, shortcomings, and areas where there is still room to grow, even as the WTA #1 player at the highest level of the game.

From professional tennis and high-pressure moments to everyday life, this conversation explores how we respond when things don’t go according to plan—and how pressure can become something we learn to understand, manage, and even use to our advantage.

Whether you’re a tennis player, coach, athlete, competitor, or simply someone navigating pressure in everyday life, this episode is packed with insight from inside the world of elite performance.
