Alex Tolzhien on Tennis, Friendship, Cars, Competition & Building Your Own Path

In this episode of Off the Collar, Nick and Sandy sit down with Alex Tolzhien — Sandy’s longtime tennis friend, tech professional, car enthusiast, newlywed, and one of the most technically obsessed tennis players Sandy knows.

The conversation covers how tennis became a lifelong social cheat code, what it takes to build adult friendships through sports, Alex’s love of cars and Porsches, working East Coast hours from California, balancing marriage and career, tournament prep, food habits, recovery, cold plunging, and the pressure of trying to build your own path instead of having one handed to you.

The guys also get into a bigger conversation around college, MBAs, AI, career paths, and what the next generation may need to think about differently.
