Show Notes:

In this episode of Stories with Traction, Matt Zaun sits down with performance coach, speaker, and former pro tennis player Jeff Salzenstein to unpack what it means to “own your zone,” a powerful framework designed to help high achievers transform stress into strength and pressure into excellence without burning out.

Jeff breaks down his three-zone model (body, mind, heart), explains why recovery is the true foundation of sustained performance, and shares practical “micro-resets” leaders can use immediately. They also explore why real change is rare without accountability and why high performers must be willing to challenge cultural norms to protect their energy, health, and longevity.
