Peyton Stearns
Episode description
Episode 33 of The Mental Game features National Champion tennis star Peyton Stearns.
Stearns is a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin and has already etched herself as one of the top young stars in the country. In the spring, she led the Longhorns to an NCAA title and was named Most Outstanding Player. She then earned a qualifying wild card for the women's singles draw at the U.S. Open, where she fell to the United Kingdom’s Harriet Dart.
As a 19-year-old, Stearns recognizes that her mental game is still a work in progress, and on the podcast, she dives into:
- The moment her mind hampered her during her freshman season
- What it feels like to let go and just play tennis, to be in the “zone”
- Dealing with nerves at the U.S. Open
- Much more
Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.
