Stop calling it burnout. You're likely just disregulated. Burnout is often a badge of honor for working too hard, but the reality is that your nervous system has simply lost the ability to power down. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #BurnoutPrevention

By mastering the ability to regulate your state in real time through breathing and attention control, you can move past the survival response and truly own your zone when the pressure is highest. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #PeakPerformance #MentalToughness

@JohnIsner Nope….never @JohnIsner

NCAA women’s quarterfinals in Athens, GA. Anyone think Orlando is gonna have this juice starting in 2028 for 10 straight years?

@CoachMannyDiaz Always play NCAA’s in Athens. Always. @Coach_MannyDiaz @RoditiTCUTennis

Quote from the NCAA Tournament in Athens: TCU Head Coach David Roditi On playing in Athens... “It’s the place to play. You can’t be an elite college player and not get this. This is special. Hopefully, the USTA will create the same in Orlando. I think it will be tough. 1/3

When you stay in "fight or flight" all day, your nervous system never gets a chance to reset, leading to collapsed energy and diminished creativity. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #BurnoutPrevention #WorkLifeBalance #NervousSystemHealth

@AlGruskin The best place to play ever. Epic in the 90’s!

Had always wondered why they call Athens THE Mecca of College Tennis Completely get it now

Over 30 years of studying high performance has taught me that the athletes who last the longest are the ones who respect sleep and train their nervous systems to reset after intense pressure. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #HighPerformance #RecoveryStrategy #BurnoutPrevention

True capacity isn't built by doing more; it’s built by regulating the emotions, like frustration and anxiety, that leak our energy and cloud our judgment. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #EmotionalIntelligence #Leadership #StressManagement

Longer exhales activate the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling to your brain that you are safe and allowing your focus to sharpen instantly. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #NervousSystem #ElitePerformance #MindsetMatters

Rewiring the mind isn’t about forced optimism; it’s about the strategic elimination of negativity and complaints that distort your reality. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #MindsetShift #HighPerformance #MentalClarity

Elite performers don’t try to eliminate pressure; they train for rapid recovery to bring their nervous system back into balance and keep their thinking sharp. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #Neuroscience #PeakPerformance #NervousSystem

Deep sleep is the ultimate tool for restoring hormones and clearing mental fog, ensuring you can lead with a calm mind and make wise decisions rather than reacting out of exhaustion. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #SleepPerformance #LeadershipHabits #Recovery

After losing the deciding match of the national championship in 1994, I finally crossed paths with the man who beat me, John Leach, while watching his son win a massive match for Stanford. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #ManInTheArena #StanfordTennis #Resilience

I witnessed an incredible Stanford comeback where a freshman, facing immense pressure and a 3-0 team deficit, ignored the score to compete point-by-point until he secured the win. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #ComebackStory #MentalToughness #StanfordTennis

Are you missing out on magic because you’re staying comfortable? I almost skipped the Stanford Tennis Stadium opening, but a last-minute flight put me ringside for one of the most electric sporting shifts I’ve ever witnessed. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast #ShowUp

Would you travel 24 hours just to relive a moment of magic? Returning to Stanford for the opening of their new tennis stadium reminded me that some experiences are truly life-changing and cannot be manufactured. #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast

@CraigBrockie Aminos

Most people are eating plenty of protein. But almost none of it is making it into their muscles, joints, hair, skin, or hormones. Why? Because their gut can't break it down. A 65-year-old has about 30% less stomach acid than a 30-year-old. Less acid means undigested protein. (Undigested protein means muscle wasting, brittle hair, sagging skin, and a body that can't repair itself) Researchers at Cambridge and the University of Texas Medical Branch confirmed it: The body needs 9 specific building blocks called essential amino acids. It can't make them. You have to eat them. When even one is missing, protein synthesis stops - Full stop. Steak, chicken, fish, and eggs all contain them. But by the time those proteins get broken down, absorbed, and reassembled into something usable, You've lost 30 to 70% of the original yield. For someone with healthy digestion, that's fine. For someone with bloating, low stomach acid, leaky gut, or IBS - It's a slow disaster. That's where pre-digested amino acids come in. They skip the breakdown step entirely. Within 30 minutes of swallowing them, They're in your bloodstream (already broken down to the size your cells can use) These are the 9 amino acids you can't live without: Lysine. Leucine. Isoleucine. Methionine. Valine. Threonine. Phenylalanine. Histidine. Tryptophan. Miss any one of them and your body cannibalizes itself to make up the difference. That's where wrinkles, weak nails, slow recovery, and shrinking muscle come from. I've been saying for 30 years: Most chronic problems aren't a lack of medication. They're a lack of building blocks. Comment AMINOS and I'll send you a free guide on the 9 essential amino acids and how to use them to rebuild your body. P.S. MUST Follow for me first so I can DM you.

@chrisvanderveen Ha ha. So good. Walking uphill both ways barefoot. @chrisvanderveen

Years from now…Denver’s children of today will recall a wondrous and terrifying blizzard that shut down the city in May no less. They will recall just how impossible travel was on the…um…wet roads. No way school was even remotely possible on that day, they will say. 🙄

What happens when your body fails you right before a high-stakes match? In April 2007, I woke up for the US Claycourts qualifying rounds feeling completely lightheaded and "in the clouds," a terrifying sensation to face when you're competing alone without a coach or team.

Why does overthinking always seem to strike right before your biggest moments? Neuroscience shows that when the brain senses pressure, it triggers a threat response that sends your thoughts into a spiral of doubt and "what ifs." #JeffSalzenstein #LetsDoPodcast
