More quotes by Jim Courier
Hell be lucky to last five or six years on those knees. What it might have to come down to is playing less on hard surfaces and playing more on forgiving surfaces.
Jim Courier
There are things we can't control - like the wins and the losses.
Jim Courier
What I like about the USTA is that it's developing systems to help the coaches coach better.
Jim Courier
I will do everything in my power to make sure people are aware that our team is out there fighting the good fight for the tennis fans of the United States.
Jim Courier
Focusing on one thing can be tough, and people with fewer options are more apt to concentrate on what they're doing. There's probably something to hunger.

America has an interesting global role, don't we? It certainly seems to be changing. Our government right now has a softer hand than we've had in the past, but I still think that we're the global behemoth.

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
Many books have been written about what the X-factor is, what separates people who win big matches versus those who struggle. Some of it's innate, but there's a piece of it that's learned, embracing those moments.
Jim Courier
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
There are certainly great cities in America that don't have ATP and WTA events. Our fans are very provincial. They want American champions.
Jim Courier
I think there's no reason the Davis Cup couldn't be as powerful and popular and profitable as any of the four majors are today, given some changes.
Jim Courier
Tennis is still very successful in spite of itself.
Jim Courier
Tennis doesn't encourage any kind of intellectual development.
Jim Courier
What separates the winners from the losers is that they can deal with doing their best while still coming up short.
Jim Courier
The dumber you are on court, the better you're going to play.
Jim Courier
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.
