Pressure is Trainable, with Aryna Sabalenka's Coach Jason Stacy

When someone asked Aryna Sabalenka how much breathing work she did with her performance coach, she said, "Oh, I don't know, not really much, really." In fact, they'd been doing it since day one. That coach is Jason Stacy, who works with elite athletes, coaches, and executives, and he's just written a book called The Pressure Code.

In this episode:

• Why you don't rise to the occasion, and what happens instead

• What Jason does in the hours after Aryna Sabalenka loses a big match
