More quotes by Billie Jean King
I will tell you King's First Law of Recognition: You never get it when you want it, and then when it comes, you get too much.
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
Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.
Billie Jean King

I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.
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
I think one of the concerns, anytime you're in the human business, like sports, it's a very high - risk endeavor. You do have to get players every year. You have to deal with calendar. You have to deal with all kinds of things in our sport, like every sport does.
Billie Jean King
I try to perfect my strong points and make my weaknesses adequate.
Billie Jean King
Some people do have softer boundaries.
Billie Jean King
When people tell you not to believe in your dreams, and they say “Why?”, say “Why not?
Billie Jean King
Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.
Billie Jean King
If your partner wants to be private, you have to respect that.
Billie Jean King
Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.
Billie Jean King
I like entrepreneurial people I like people who take risks.
Billie Jean King
In business, everything starts with integrity. Otherwise it falls apart, though it does take time to find out who has integrity.
Billie Jean King
When you oppress people either by gender, by race, by sexual orientation, when you do that and the doors become ajar, they will fly open and they will come and they have.
Billie Jean King
Tennis taught me so many lessons in life. One of the things it taught me is that every ball that comes to me, I have to make a decision. I have to accept responsibility for the consequences every time I hit a ball.
Billie Jean King
I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.
