In this episode of Flame Bearers, guest host Dana Mathewson speaks with Japanese wheelchair tennis superstar, world number one, and newly minted Career Golden Slam winner Yui Kamiji on capturing her elusive first Wimbledon singles title, adapting to an increasingly powerful era of tennis, and finding mental clarity under intense pressure. Fun fact: To get pumped up before a big match, Yui listens to Eminem’s “Not Afraid,” and considers staying in high-grade tour hotels one of her favorite parts of traveling. She shows us that true championship performance stems from deep gratitude for your team and holding onto the simple joy of the game.
