Transform Stress into Strength. Pressure into Excellence.
Through his Own Your Zone framework, 2-time Stanford All-American and former top 100 world-ranked tennis player, Jeff Salzenstein, shows leaders, teams, and organizations how to apply the Pro Fundamentals elite athletes and performers use to stay calm, focused, and perform with excellence to thrive through pressure in every arena.
Today’s high achievers
need a shift.
In an always-on world, stress silently crushes performance, especially for top performers.
55% percent report high or extreme stress, and 62% percent say it’s work related, draining creativity, focus, and energy while damaging culture and results.
The cost? Lower productivity. Higher turnover. Missed breakthroughs.
Stress becomes a glass ceiling, capping performance and potential.
Jeff bridges the gap between elite athletic performance and high-stakes business.
As someone who has competed on the world stage, Jeff knows what it takes to perform under extreme pressure. Now, through his Own Your Zone framework, he helps leaders, teams, and organizations turn the Pro Fundamentals of elite performance into daily habits that regulate stress, build resilience, and unlock excellence that lasts.
The result?
Pressure becomes your competitive advantage.
Real growth and transformation starts with having stress reduction and resilience building fundamentals in place to unlock excellence so we can win big in life and in business without losing ourselves.
Applying proven pro fundamentals learned as an elite world class tennis player and refined as a performance coach, Jeff guides executives and teams to:
Regulate Emotions - Master your internal state even in high-stress situations
Decrease Stress - Transform pressure from performance enemy to performance ally
Increase Energy - Build sustainable capacity instead of burning valuable resources and create lasting longevity.
Optimize Performance - Access your peak state when it matters most
Deepen Connection - Foster genuine relationships that fuel both wellbeing and results
Jeff’s heart-centered, holistic approach helps leaders perform at a high level without sacrificing their well-being. The result is sustainable excellence—not burnout
“Jeff exemplifies grit, has a process, has a really positive outlook on what it takes to push through hard times.”
JEFF’S SIGNATURE KEYNOTE

Attendees learn the insights, tools, and techniques to optimize recovery, lock in a champion’s mindset, and regulate emotions to win each day when the stakes are highest.
Ideal for leaders and teams who want to unlock sustainable peak performance—especially when the pressure’s on.
BREAKTHROUGH TOOLS FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE
✓ Optimize top performers without burnout
Protect Your Peak Performers: Your top talent pushes hard—but without the right tools, that drive leads to burnout, not breakthroughs. Jeff’s Own Your Zone™ framework helps them stay sharp, consistent, and energized—so they can perform at their best and stay committed for the long haul.
✓ Increase energy while reducing sick days
Build Antifragile Leadership: Jeff doesn’t just help leaders reduce stress—he helps them become antifragile. That means getting stronger under pressure, not just surviving it. The result? More energy, fewer stress-related setbacks, and leaders who show up with vitality that inspires everyone around them.
✓ Develop championship mindset
Handle Pressure Like Elite Athletes: Elite athletes thrive when the everything’s on the line. Jeff brings those high-performance mental skills into the business world, helping leaders access flow, stay composed when the heat is on, and turn high-stakes challenges into competitive advantages.
✓ Create sustainable decade-long performance
Think Beyond Quarterly Results: Many leaders get stuck playing the short game. Elite athletes play the longevity game—15 to 20 years at peak performance. Jeff helps leaders expand capacity and build habits that compound over time, not deplete it. It’s not about next quarter—it’s about long-term excellence.
✓ Develop leaders who inspire excellence
Model Resilience from the Top Down: When leaders take a high performance approach, it creates a ripple effect. Teams rise to meet the example. Energy, focus, and resilience become the norm. It’s not about surviving the role. It’s about showing what thriving under pressure really looks like.
