Our guest today is Christian Straka a former ATP pro tennis player who competed between 1999-2004. However, an injury forced Christian to end his career so early he moved into coaching where he coached multiple top ten players throughout their tennis careers and was the personal coach for Victoria Azarenka (former women's number world one) and Andrea Petkovic (former men's world number ten). In the last decade, he has moved from tennis coaching to turn to mindset training for peak performance through evidence-based mindfulness skill development, which he incorporates in his function as the Global Mindset Coach for Adidas Runners. This included being Mike Bryan’s mental performance coach when he won the ATP Tour World Championship in 2018, and also the mental performance coach of the Adidas TSP team that broke the world record running from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. We delve deep into Christian's career as a tennis pro, coach, and his work with mindfulness including how he helps various top athletes to perform at their best.
