Training The Body To Obey The Mind

Losses Are Always A Relief. They Take A Burden Off Me, Make Me Feel More Normal. If I Win Several Tournaments In A Row I Get So Confident I'm In A Cloud. If I Lose I Go Back To The Dressing Room And I'm No Better Nor Worse Than Anyone Else. A Loss Gets Me Eager Again.

I Wanted Always To Appear Strong And In Control . . . .then The Cookie Began To Crumble.

I Realized That With Hard Work, The World Was Your Oyster. You Could Do Anything You Wanted To Do.

If You Can React The Same Way To Winning And Losing, That's A Big Accomplishment. That Quality Is Important Because It Stays With You The Rest Of Your Life, And There's Going To Be A Life After Tennis That's A Lot Longer Than Your Tennis Life.

If I Win Several Tournaments In A Row, I Get So Confident I'm In A Cloud. A Loss Gets Me Eager Again.
