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.

More quotes by 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
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
Even the poor can be fat in the U.S.
Jim Courier
Without a doubt, there's huge satisfaction when a relatively smaller nation can take on a bigger nation and defeat them. There's a lot of pride in that.
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
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
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.
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
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
The airplane has had a big impact on my life.
Jim Courier
What I've seen historically is winning is a major aloe. It solves a lot of problems.
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
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
Unbelievable, yet, what else could it be?
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
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
America is the world's policemen, whether you and I like that or not. That's a fact. People globally feel that.
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
Tennis doesn't encourage any kind of intellectual development.
