hands sitting able
If you lived the doubles, as I did, which was very stressful, you are sitting down in a chair experiencing a match without being able to hold a racquet in your hands.
sports player hands
It's better to have done because then you know what the player is going through and you understand the pressure, but then on the other hand I know a lot of people that were good players but not good coaches, and vice versa.
american-musician bet heard plays stunning
Well, Darrell is a stunning musician. I mean, he plays anything. The only thing I've never heard him play is a fiddle, and I bet he could.
fighting guy competition
It's a tough world out there and all the guys are fighting hard and the competition is really tough.
winning years trying
If you win, fine, if you don't, you try again next year.
player tennis needs
To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these sort of hours.
practice each-day four
I retired because I had a knee injury, my cartilage was wearing out, it was painful and I couldn't put in the four hours of practice each day that I needed to.
kids player juniors
I had a coach that was not a great player, but he taught with kids and juniors so that by the time he was 50 he was great. He helped me make the top 5 in the world and yet he wasn't a great player himself.
memories achievement feelings
More than specific memories of achievements, for me I remember the feeling you get when you were just at your very best - when you felt like you were floating across the court and could put the ball wherever you wanted.
thinking player effort
I think each player and myself live things differently because I have no physical effort to make.
sports lonely littles
You can be a little lonely because it's an individual sport.
fun games tennis
When you are very little tennis should be fun, it should be a game.
careers doctors want
You should just enjoy it, but as soon as you decide that it is going to be your career, no matter whether you want to be a doctor or an architect or anything else, you need to work 5 hours a day.
guy style return
There are some guys you have problems beating because of their style - I always had difficulties with guys like Michael Chang and Andre Agassi because their returns were so good and they played so well in defence.
