More quotes by Jim Courier
We lose a lot of young athletes because tennis is such a difficult sport. It's not like kicking a soccer ball.
Jim Courier
It's hard for anyone in the 24-hour news cycles that we all live in now to follow something that the first round is played in March and the final finishes in December. I understand the challenges there.
Jim Courier
You need to make sure everyone is healthy first and foremost.
Jim Courier
It's a simple question of supply and demand. But all of us are grossly overpaid. I think it's a ridiculous dispute.
Jim Courier
You can kick a ball into the net, throw a basketball into the net. Tennis is complicated. It'll make a lot of great athletes run the other way because they can't be successful initially.
Jim Courier
Sports for me is when a guy walks off the court, and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.
Jim Courier
The dumber you are on court, the better you're going to play.

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
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
There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that most champions are born into certain environments and encouraged early. Then, later on, they might get some assistance from their federations.
Jim Courier
People handle stress in different ways.
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
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's no evidence that says that the money a federation has translates into success. I hope that that will change.
Jim Courier
I am there to play tennis and represent the U.S., but I'm also aware that not everyone's going to be able to think that way.
Jim Courier
I think all of us are shaped by the choices we make.
