How to Perform Under Pressure Without Burning Out with Jeff Salzenstein | #58

What if pressure isn't the problem? What if the way you carry it is what's holding you back?

In this episode of I Can Fit That In, Erin Coupe sits down with Jeff Salzenstein, former top 100 world-ranked tennis player, Stanford All-American, NCAA Champion, and now a leadership speaker, performance advisor, and coach. Jeff draws on more than a decade competing at the highest levels of professional tennis, as well as deeply personal experiences with his brother's addiction and loss, to explore what high performers can learn about resilience, stress, identity, and leadership.

Jeff introduces his Own Your Zone framework, built around three areas: restoring the body, rewiring the mind, and reconnecting the heart. He and Erin also unpack how to handle pressure, build emotional resilience, reshape limiting beliefs, and create the internal foundation needed to perform well without sacrificing your well-being.

Key Takeaways

- How to build the skill of bouncing back when things don't go your way

- How the Own Your Zone framework can help leaders strengthen their physical, mental, and emotional foundation

- A simple “up until now” technique for interrupting limiting beliefs and creating new possibilities
