WTA Tour Coach #213: Jared Jacobs - Mental Gymnastics on Tour

On The Coaching Podcast , WTA Tour coach Jared Jacobs joins me to unpack what really decides matches when the margins are small and the spotlight is big. Coaching at the highest level is a collaboration. It’s rarely about forehands and backhands. On the tour, it’s mental gymnastics. Pressure exposes character. Competition tests your training. And great coaching means knowing — before the heat of the moment — exactly how your player is going to respond when everything is on the line.
