In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

Id like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

I tend to be slim and you know, I actually can lose weight quicker than I can gain it.

Life is challenging but I'm always up for a challenge.

Just always believe in yourself. "Champions adjust." It's a line I learned from Billie Jean King, and sometimes your dream adjusts. Be willing to adjust with it and see where your opportunities ... sometimes a door closes but a window opens, so just follow your dreams and continue. You never know where it's going to take you.

You know, growing up my - you know, I came from Compton, Calif., and, you know, it was a place where a lot of people did come out when a lot of people stayed. So I've been able to see the top and the bottom of life, and I think that balances you if you allow it to and if you remember where you came from.
