sports tennis mark
The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.
sticks world feels-right
If it feels right in your gut, this is who you are, this is what you do, this is what you feel, then don't hide that. You just stick to it and the world will catch up.
realizing i-can
The better I get, the more I realize how much better I can get.
business victory moments
The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
inspirational strong-women thinking
I think the key is for women not to set any limits.
tennis career-change
Just go out there and do what you've got to do.
tennis soul given
Tennis has given me soul.
leadership sports perfection
I am not looking for perfection. I look for the best in me.
outrage
I have always had this outrage at being told what to, how to act, whom to love.
player thinking self-worth
I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it's hard to think of doing something else where you know you'll never be thebest. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you're the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it's not all there is to life and I'm ready to explore the alternatives.
stay-strong quiet lied
If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it.
tennis committed involved
I'm not involved in tennis but committed.
motivational sports practice
Concentration is born on the practice court... you must mentally treat your practice sessions as matches, concentrating on every ball you hit.
issues people world
The more people come out, the less it will be an issue. Of we are ashamed of ourselves, how the hell can we expect the rest of the world not to be ashamed of us?
