More quotes by 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 have often been asked whether I am a women or an athlete. The question is absurd. Men are not asked that. I am an athlete. I am a women.

Billie Jean King
I have a lot to say, and if I'm not No. 1, I can't say it.
Billie Jean King
Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.
Billie Jean King
Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.
Billie Jean King
I think younger players probably just think they are who they are-they don't think about coming out. Unless you're number one in the world, nobody cares, usually.
Billie Jean King
Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.
Billie Jean King
Some people do have softer boundaries.
Billie Jean King
It's very important to take tennis to the people. For young people, they get to see the best in the world.
