competition strict
I was always really strict on myself about doing everything possible to prepare for competition.
blow thinking feet
I didn't have the ability to blow people off the court, so I needed my legs, my preparation and the ability to think on my feet.
body language tendencies
I see tendencies, I see body language.
giving people desire
When you give your best, that's all you can ask of yourself, all that people can ask of you and all that god desires from you. No matter what the result, walk with your head held high.
training want way
You can work really hard, but if you're not training in the right way you're not going to improve and get to the level that you want to.
long chinese pasta
As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.
asian hopefully initial
The first initial feeling, at least for me, was to go out and play well and hopefully win and have the Asian community be even more proud.
believe heart player
I got comments about being too small, too short, there haven't been any Asian players and who am I to go out there and turn pro before my 16th birthday? And that's all good and fine. People want to have their comments and their opinions. Ultimately, you do what you believe in your heart. I think for me, things turned out OK.
