This is what Jim Courier has taught me:
If you want to be a champion, accept what has to be done, and pay the price to do it!
Yes, Jim became a champion not only on the tennis court, but also with outside activities including:
- The U.S. Davis Cup Captain
- Becoming one of the best tennis T.V. commentators
- Becoming a true family man
- Starting a Seniors Tour
When I ask for his help, Jim is a good friend that doesn’t say, “I’m too busy” but says. “You can count on me!” Wow, I am so darn lucky and so darn proud to have been part of Jim Courier’s road to success.
Jim never once, not once, said “WHY me? Why do I have a neutral backhand?” Instead, he said, “HOW can I protect my backhand?”
He gave all he had physically and mentally to build a killer forehand.
