More quotes by 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
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
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.
Jim Courier
There's a reason why Federer and Nadal are so gracious when they lose. They sleep well at night knowing that they've given their best.
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
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
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
What I've seen historically is winning is a major aloe. It solves a lot of problems.
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 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
The airplane has had a big impact on my life.
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
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
Tennis is more than just shots. It's about being clutch and beating the people on the other side of the net.
Jim Courier
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
What separates the winners from the losers is that they can deal with doing their best while still coming up short.
Jim Courier
Tennis doesn't encourage any kind of intellectual development.
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
Even the poor can be fat in the U.S. That says something about a country. That's how incredible what we have is. But it can also take away incentive.
