More quotes by 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
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.

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.

Jim Courier
Unbelievable, yet, what else could it be?
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
The dumber you are on court, the better you're going to play.
Jim Courier
There are things we can't control - like the wins and the losses.
Jim Courier
You'd have to think that if he'd been around today, Rod Laver would have been Rod Laver.
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
It's really easy to find your friends when you're playing away. You have a close-knit group with you and everyone else is cheering hard for their side. There's more satisfaction coming away with a road victory.
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
You need to make sure everyone is healthy first and foremost.
