More quotes by Billie Jean King
Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege.
Billie Jean King
I would just never out anybody. I think everyone has to find it in their own way and their own time.
Billie Jean King
I grew up in team sports. I think I understand the psyche of America. I think when children sign up to play, it's got to be team.
Billie Jean King
I always think it's best to pretend you're in a tenuous position. Just as a player, you always want to stay in the now and work hard but also have goals for the future. There's no promises in any entrepreneurial business. You have to really work hard every year and also try to envision where you want to go in the future at the same time.
Billie Jean King
Winning is very tangible, it's very exciting, it's very pleasing, but it's momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that's when you're cooking.
Billie Jean King
Every generation I think gets better usually [in tennis].
Billie Jean King
Being Number One isn't everything to me, but for those few hours on the court it's way ahead of whatever's in second place.

Billie Jean King
No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.
Billie Jean King
Any therapist will tell you that when you're ready, you will come out. To be outed means you weren't ready.
Billie Jean King
In the complete overall history of tennis, I figure I'll be worth a sentence or two.... That's why my place in the all-time rankings means so very little to me, because I know I won't be anybody's number one, and it's that same old thing: if you're not number one, then what does it really matter?
Billie Jean King
I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.
Billie Jean King
Bobby Riggs was one of my heroes. I admired him. That's one of the reasons I beat him - because I respected him.
Billie Jean King
