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
America is the world's policemen, whether you and I like that or not. That's a fact. People globally feel that.
Jim Courier
Trophies separate the winners from losers, and life is about winning and losing. Go into business and you see. You're competing every day.

Jim Courier
There are things we can't control - like the wins and the losses.
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
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
I think all of us are shaped by the choices we make.
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.
Jim Courier
The airplane has had a big impact on my life.
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
People handle stress in different ways.
