Vicky Mboko on Hating to Lose, Plaiyng Sabalenka & Why She Doesn't Set Goals
About this episode
Vicky Mboko discusses her mindset, competitive drive, and views on goal setting in tennis.
Vicky Mboko joins The Changeover Podcast for a fun and insightful conversation. At just 19 years old and already Top 10 in the world, Vicky opens up about her mindset, her rapid rise, and why she believes goal setting might actually be limiting you. We dive into her biggest wins in Montreal over players like Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Naomi Osaka, what it felt like facing Aryna Sabalenka for the first time, and the mentality that drives her to compete at the highest level. This episode goes way beyond tennis — from pressure growing up, family dynamics, and rivalries, to social media, identity, and life outside the sport.
