If you don't want to practice...

If you don't want to practice, unless you have a hard-nosed coach, you don't have to.

Jim Courier 30 quotes

Fear is an interesting energy...

Fear is an interesting energy that we all have to face. Some people step up and aren't afraid but still come up short. And some would rather cop out: "My shoulder hurts" or "I didn't give it my all." They can sleep at night.

What I like about the USTA is...

What I like about the USTA is that it's developing systems to help the coaches coach better.

There used to be a lot more politics in the Olympics, when the Soviet Bloc committed a lot of resources for propaganda purposes.

In America, we love to give people second chances too - as long as you admit you were wrong and come back and do it the right way.

Jim Courier 30 quotes

Trophies separate the winners...

Trophies separate the winners from losers, and life is about winning and losing. Go into business and you see. You're competing every day.

Jim Courier 30 quotes

The first thing I would do is...

The first thing I would do is create one office that controlled all of pro tennis so you had one central voice that spoke for tennis. Central governance is something that's really held the sport back and will continue to do so.

We lose a lot of young athletes because tennis is such a difficult sport. It's not like kicking a soccer ball.

It's a simple question of supply and demand. But all of us are grossly overpaid. I think it's a ridiculous dispute.

I'm not suggesting that the entire nation can't be successful, but there's something to it when you have 150 cable channels and the Internet at your fingertips and video games and all kinds of ADD-addled devices like my iPhone and your BlackBerry and things that keep us busy.

Jim Courier 30 quotes

Tennis is more than just shot...

Tennis is more than just shots. It's about being clutch and beating the people on the other side of the net.

Jim Courier 30 quotes

When your four biggest tourna...

When your four biggest tournaments all operate relatively independently, and the ATP and WTA tour operate independently, and you have Davis Cup and Fed Cup that operate independently, it makes it a tough message.

You'd have to think that if he'd been around today, Rod Laver would have been Rod Laver.

When you lack cohesion, it becomes difficult to have a clear marketing strategy.

Jim Courier 30 quotes

There is a lot of pressure on...

There is a lot of pressure on tennis players like other sports that are singular like you're not on a team. When all the pressure rides on your shoulders, it can be a lot different. Team sports you share those moments with the teammates. You share the pressures. You share the wins. You share the losses. You have a coach that can change the course of matches. But in tennis you're out there by yourself. There are no caddies. There are no coaches. You do it alone in the arena and I think that ups the ante a little bit.

Jim Courier 30 quotes

I think the Davis Cup has som...

I think the Davis Cup has some untapped potential. It should be as prominent as the Grand Slams when it takes place. If you put it together with Fed Cup for an organized, nationalistic team competition taking place in a central location for two weeks, I think that would be beneficial from a fan interest stand point, from a media stand point and from a television stand point.

What I've seen historically is winning is a major aloe. It solves a lot of problems.

Getting to number one in the world without a coach is highly unlikely.

When I turned professional, what I was really aiming for was to be in the top 100, try to hold the top 100 for ten years, and just be in the show, and have a nice career. It's more than I could have ever hoped for. I worked awfully hard for it, but there are other people who worked just as hard and didn't get the breaks. I recognized that I've been lucky and being able to live this life that I wanted since a young age. I really went after it with everything that I have and somehow it worked out.

Flying has opened up new horizons for tennis.
