## Resource

This week I’m joined once again by Dutch ATP player Jesper de Jong , who has continued his steady rise on the professional circuit. Since our last chat, Jesper has broken into the top 100, reached his first ATP final at the Swedish Open, and played a key role for the Netherlands in Davis Cup. We talk about what feels different now that he’s inside the top 100, the lessons he’s learned from the tour grind, and how he balances results with enjoying the process. Jesper also shares insights from training blocks in Bali, the unforgettable match that sealed his top 100 spot, and what he’s learned from his girlfriend, a professional speed skater. If you’re curious about the mindset and habits behind steady, sustainable progress, this episode is a great listen. Fabio This podcast is sponsored by ASICS.
