Doug Dvorak, CEO and Founder of The Sales Coaching Institute and host of the Mission Possible podcast, today announced an upcoming episode with tennis great Roscoe Tanner. Tanner won the 1977 Australian Open, reached the 1979 Wimbledon final, and had one of the most feared serves of his era.
In the conversation, Tanner looks back on his path to the top of professional tennis: winning a Grand Slam title, battling the game's greatest champions on Centre Court, and competing at the highest levels of international play. Dvorak and Tanner draw lessons from his career that apply well beyond the court, including handling pressure in decisive moments, bouncing back from setbacks, building a signature strength, and keeping a competitive edge over a lengthy career.
"Roscoe Tanner knows what it takes to perform when everything is on the line," said Dvorak. "Whether you're serving for a championship or closing the biggest deal of your career, the mindset is the same: preparation, focus, and the courage to trust your strengths. This is an episode every sales professional, leader, and competitor will want to hear about."
Listeners will learn:
• What it takes mentally to win a Grand Slam title
• How to build and rely on a signature strength under pressure
• Lessons from facing the world's best competitors
• How elite athletes recover from losses and setbacks
• How championship habits apply to sales, leadership, and business
