You know how kids are. They like to do what parents do.

I was between 2 and 3 in the world for two, three years. That's not exactly where I wanted to be.

But to be fair, if you take players from my era to now, the game has changed and the players have many more shots. They use them differently than we did. The speed of the game has changed.

I just travel all the time. And I was just looking at the schedules now and starting the first week of October I will be every weekend with somebody at tournaments through Christmas. So it gets very difficult to just go away and not do that.

People may say I developed an iron will, but what really happened is that I made myself much fitter. I think an iron will is always supported by fitness.

I'm certainly not sorry that there were some things I missed. You may think you're missing something at that time but later when you look at it, you didn't miss anything.

If you look at any superior athlete, you will find a strong parental influence. Parents introduce their children to a sport, and then they support them.
