Integrating Mental Fitness in Tennis Clinics
Presented by Leon Bax

Leon Bax

Leon is a scientist with PhDs in two medical fields who initially built a career in clinical research methodology. After 20 years of advising on complex decisions in drug development along with vast experience in competitive tennis, martial arts (including a junior national title in Judo), and meditative practices, he decided it was time to use his talents for the health of communities rather than for the wealth of pharmaceutical corporations. Leon created the concept and methodology behind 2Mynds, designed to help players achieve better mental health and performance through mental fitness. As CEO he leads the mission to make training towards mental fitness a normal, proactive part of optimizing performance.
