“When I finished the juniors I felt, perhaps for about a year and a half, that everything was going to be the same and that I would be able to go out there and win any match. But it wasn't the case. I struggled. It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors. It was three years between the junior ranks and reaching the Australian Open, and even then, having reached the final against Hingis, I wasn't really realising what it would take to go higher.” YearsHappensWould BeAbleThreeWinningFeltSportsHalfCasesHigherFinalsFinishedReachingRealisingThree YearsJuniorsAustralian Author:Amelie Mauresmo
“Another factor is the education and culture in which you grow up. I didn't grow up in the culture of victory, where you are expected to be or have to be, the best. It was not at all like that in my family. Tennis was really a hobby. If it led to something, great. If not, there were other things in life. I think that was something I was missing at some points in my career, because when I see Hingis or the Williamses, you see how they were educated for this: to win, to be the best, a bit the American mentality. Number one. Number one. Number one. I didn't have this.” IfsThinkingCultureWinningGrowsBitsNumbersCareersGrowing UpMissingVictoryMy FamilyExpectedFactorsEducatedTennisBeing The BestWhere You AreMentalityThings In LifeHobbies Author:Amelie Mauresmo
