Keegan Smith returns to The Changeover Podcast after reaching a career-high ATP ranking and capturing his first Challenger title.
Keegan joins Justin Roberts and Jody Maginley from Ireland during grass-court season to discuss his breakthrough year on tour, the mindset shift that helped him win in India, and why meditation has become a daily part of his life.
The conversation dives into tennis culture, ego on the ATP Tour, flow state, fear vs love as motivation, crowd interactions, spiritual awakening, grass-court tennis, and the reality of chasing success as a professional athlete.
