Andy Roddick sits down with Jason Stacy, the performance coach behind world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.From managing energy after Miami victories to helping shape a Grand Slam champion and mastering emotions on the clay courts of Europe, Jason explains how he builds a system that balances physical training, mental toughness, and team coordination—all while letting Sabalenka shine as herself. Fans get a rare glimpse behind the curtain of one of the most intense player-coach relationships in tennis, learn what it takes to sustain success at the highest level, and hear the philosophy that Jason calls the “Loyalty Loop”—a mindset shift centered on self trust.
