Damaging admission: Did you know Jeff’s had one of the worst serves in college tennis his freshman year at Stanford.
Jeff is perhaps the best student of the game I have ever met. Frustrated with his serve, knowing it was not good enough to play at the highest level of college tennis or to have chance to play professional tennis, Jeff went on his own personal serve journey.
The summer before his sophomore year at Stanford, he modeled Goran Ivanisevic and develop a 120 mph lefty serve and became a two time national champion and All-American.
He finally unlocked the hidden SERVE POWER inside him…
Fast forward a few years and Jeff and his big serve shocked then world #2 Michael Chang for a set and a half at the 1997 US Open in front of 23,000 fans.
Then, at the age of 28 after two surgeries, Jeff met with Tennis Con 2 presenter John Yandell from Tennis Player.net to see how he could refine and optimize his serve even more.
The changes that Jeff made based on what he learned from John and from his own experimentation allowed him to break the top 100 in the world for the first time at the age of 30.
Jeff transformed his serve into one of the biggest weapons on the ATP tour when most would have given up.
