After a Stellar Season on the Tennis Court, Coco Gauff’s Doubles Partner Points Out Her ‘Small Goals’ Mantra in the Pursuit of Happiness

Jessica Pegula is the prime example of someone who follows her dream irrespective of the ordeals she has to face. Being from a family that has a net worth of $6.7 billion, Pegula never had any obligation to follow tennis. However, her love for the sport and rigorous training have brought her to this stage in her career. However, it comes with a lot of pressure. But the doubles partner of Coco Gauff has devised a strategy to continue achieving her goals without disrupting her mental health.

Pegula faced a disheartening defeat by her compatriot, Madison Keys, in the fourth round of the US Open. However, she recently dwelled on how she has maintained her consistent growth in the sport despite having a lot of pressure.

Jessica Pegula details her approach to pursuing her goals

Like any other professional tennis player, staying on top of her game is Pegula’s goal too. However, looking that far ahead is not how Pegula approaches her dreams. In a recent video by WTA, Pegula opened up about her simple yet effective approach.

She stated, “You have to figure out a way to find a good balance to be successful.” Disrupting one’s mental health is not how Pegula plays her game. She stated, “I would say what makes me happy is just I think setting really small goals and being able to achieve them.”

This gives her the constant reinforcement she needs to get through a tough day on court. She stated, “It kind of helps me get through a really tough day or a really tough day on court or a tough match or a tough week.”

The purpose is to bring that positivity to oneself. Pegula stated, “Just having setting really small little goals that are super easy to accomplish but at the same time give you good energy positive emotion.” This overall uplifts her mood and gives her the serotonin she needs to keep herself going forward.
