“Transitioning as a top junior to Collegiate & professional tennis, learning systematic routines early on is vital in any sport. Jeff Greenwald has introduced proven formulas, which have impacted the kid’s thought processes and routines in productive ways on and off the court. These tools will serve the kids well at each stage of development and continually enforce the growth mindset.”

-Dan Willman, Director of Tennis, NW High Performance

 

Jeff’s playing background and knowledge of the game are extremely important to us and have helped him connect with our players. He understands the pressures and pitfalls of high-level tennis and has created a systematic way to help our players improve. The online Fearless Tennis Course has been a great way for our kids to be self-reliant and work through videos, homework, and practical on-court sessions to improve their mental abilities.

I have seen a dramatic improvement in our player’s preparation for practices and matches along with their ability to be resilient and handle challenges with confidence. There is no doubt that Jeff has been the leading force behind this improvement.”

-Brian Wilson, USTA Faculty Coach Director- Northwest High-Performance Tennis

 

“Jeff’s mental toughness courses really helped me stay focused on the court. Before doing his program I would not have been able to beat two players I had previously lost to. I was able to focus my mind on the present and not focus on the score as much. He taught me many strategies that helped me think less and play more on my terms.”

-Caroline Pozo, D1 Collegiate Player, Northwestern University

 

“Working with Jeff provides me with a psychological compass on what is needed to improve. I understand why I play well and how to repeat it. I am playing looser, more focused tennis and Jeff has helped me make the crucial adjustments in matches, which has made all the difference for me.”

-Santiago Cardenas, D1 Recruit, San Diego State

 

“In just the short time I have been working with Jeff, my mental game has seen significant progress. I no longer buy into the self-sabotage that often perpetuated my game, but put myself in the best position to perform whenever I take the court. Jeff’s unique perspective as a player has given me the perfect blend of relatability and the science of sports psychology, to accelerate my growth.”

-Caelan Potts, D1 Player, St. Mary’s College

 

“Jeff has helped me become calmer on the court and a lot more composed in tight situations. I have been able to stay looser even in tighter situations and I can play my game on my own terms. I’ve also learned how to play with more intention rather than loosely playing points.”

– Toby Luo, 11.5 UTR

 

“The work Coach Jeff and I did off the court truly allowed me to take my mental game and confidence to the next level. I learned to commit to a process, shift my focus when it mattered, and play the big points at my highest level. I have learned countless skills because of our work driven by Jeff’s approach to fearless tennis.”

-Mason Bui, 11.2 UTR

 

“You’ll be hard-pressed to find a psychologist who understands sports with as much breadth and depth as Jeff Greenwald.  This is a man who thoroughly understands the competitive dynamic – the ups, the downs, and all in between.  One key reason for this expertise is that Jeff is a lifelong player – an excellent player who has won national titles.  But even more, Jeff has rigorously studied the competition and has been able to uncover insights and develop workable techniques that help athletes.  Better yet, he continues to ask questions and seek new answers.”
