Episode description

What if the very thing we celebrate most—talent—is actually holding us back? Patrick Mouratoglou is one of the most respected coaches in tennis, best known for guiding Serena Williams to 10 of her 23 Grand Slam titles and now coaching four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. But his insights go far beyond the court. In this episode, Patrick shares why talent is overrated—and how mindset, resilience, and daily discipline are what really drive success. He opens up about his own journey overcoming crippling anxiety, and shares lessons from his new book, Champion Mindset, which distills a lifetime of coaching into actionable strategies. From building unshakable confidence to leading people with different personalities, this conversation is a masterclass in unlocking potential.
