This Successful Tennis Pro and Entrepreneur Demonstrates 5 Ways Pressure Is Your Best Friend for Success
By Kevin Daum, Contributor
YPO member Gregg Hill loves pressure. In fact he calls it his “secret weapon” – and he’s experienced plenty of it. At only 9 years old, Hill left his home and family to live full time at Nick Bollettieri’s Tennis Academy. He attended the academy with tennis champions like Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, and Monica Seles, and was doubles partners with Tommy Haas. That’s enough pressure for a lifetime, but Hill wasn’t done. When injuries forced him out of the sport he loved, he was determined not to let that be the end of his successes. Even though he had to restart from nothing, he approached business with the same fervor he had tennis. He became an entrepreneur, developing real estate projects with Hill Gray Seven, founding H&S Capital Group, and becoming involved in Frustum, a generative design software.
In tennis and in business, Hill learned to take pressure and transform it into many opportunities for success. Learn Hill’s tips on making pressure work for you.
