There are things we can't control - like the wins and the losses.
Sports for me is when a guy walks off the court, and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.
What I've seen historically is winning is a major aloe. It solves a lot of problems.
The reason I didn't take the baseball route is because they don't have rankings for baseball players.
If you don't want to practice, unless you have a hard-nosed coach, you don't have to.
What I like about the USTA is that it's developing systems to help the coaches coach better.
