JUSTIN CHONG: AN UNDERDOG TENNIS STORY

Hello and welcome to Upgrade Thought! Today, I will be talking with Justin Chong.  Tennis is often deemed a “rich sport” because many successful tennis players had access to formal training, high-end tennis centers, and world class coaches. These resources are incredible for those who have the means but can put those without that level of access at a disadvantage. In this discussion, I talk with Justin about his experiences becoming a tennis recruit with limited formal training, what it is like waking up at 4am for practice, how Justin trained in the snow during the winter, and how athletes can find meaning after their sports career ends.  Throughout the conversation, we discuss philosophical concepts like healthy perfectionism, balance, first principles, and more.  Enjoy the show!
