The Players' Lounge (Tennis Podcast)

The last Slam of the year was an instant classic! After a dull summer, Iga Swiatek won her third slam and has once more shown why she is the dominant force of the WTA.

But the biggest event (apart OF COURSE from Serena’s retirement) is without a doubt the crowning of Carlos Alcaraz who not only won his first Grand Slam but became the youngest N1 at only 19 years old.

How can we explain the level of maturity and success of these two young players? In this episode, you will learn the common mental strengths of “Iga and Carlitos”

• How to build your physical strength to serve your game identity

• How to find the mental resources when you are losing

• What key elements to consider when you are building your team to succeed?

• How to increase your competitive instinct

• How to turn your vulnerability into strength

• + one bonus: Iga and Carlos’s personality trait that sets them apart
