Change isn't easy. But, when it comes to transitioning from an established career—such as a professional athlete—and pivoting to a different one—such as a CEO—it can be especially challenging. After mastering one set of skills, the idea of navigating through a new chapter in life can be a daunting and difficult process.
Yet, how will manage this change to stay focused on your new journey, take control of your future and be the business leader you strive to become?
For episode 076 of my podcast, ‘The World Class Leaders Show,’ I invited Massimo Calvelli,  CEO of ATP ( Association of Tennis Players). 
Massimo Calvelli began serving as ATP CEO in January 2020. The highly experienced Italian has been instrumental in driving a new strategic plan for the ATP that delivers some of the most radical reforms since the organization’s inception. Prior to ATP, Calvelli was employed by Nike, where he oversaw all aspects of global tennis sports marketing and led negotiations with many of the sport's global icons.
