About this episode

The episode discusses Justin's unconventional journey to the Orlando final, including AI coaching and racket spec changes, along with insights from Jody's recent competition.

In this episode of The Changeover Podcast , we break down Justin’s run from qualifying to the Orlando final — including the unexpected changes that made the biggest difference. From adjusting racket specs (and ditching the dampener) to letting ChatGPT handle meals, recovery, and tournament routines… this might be the most unconventional approach we’ve ever tried. Jody also jumps back onto the ATP singles ranking list after competing in Ivory Coast, and we get into everything from red dirt tennis to mental strategies, altitude, and life on tour. Plus: stories from the road, locker room moments, and a big retirement announcement.
