It was a hot summer day on the tennis courts when Sebastian Serrano was crushing forehands down the line.  I was utterly mesmerized.  I was going to be coaching a friend on the court next to his but stood transfixed, watching him hit.  He was amazing.  I immediately needed to know who this guy was.  And we quickly became friends.  Sebastian is a former #400 in the world rankings of tennis.  He dominated in the professional world and now is creating his own path with the beginnings of his tennis academy.  We chatted about playing authentically to your own style, understanding your strengths, getting negative thoughts out of your head, and entering the flow state where the magic truly happens.  We also discussed why it's so important to pick yourself up after you fall.  Which happens time and time again.  Enjoy!

An incredible success story filled with all kinds of hurdles and hilarity.  So many things came together for them to make this a reality.
