“One answer to why public interest in men's tennis has been on the wane in recent years is an essential and unpretty thugishness about the power-baseline style that's become dominant on the tour. Watch Agassi closely sometime...he's amazingly absent of finesse, with movements that look more like a heavy-metal musician's than an athlete's...what a top PBer really resembles is film of the old Soviet Union putting down a rebellion.

“If you don't eat right as an athlete, you'll get tired and won't be as sharp. It's simple to drink sodas and sports drinks, but water is the most essential drink to put in your body.” IfsBodySportsWaterSimpleDrinkEssentialsTiredAthleteYour BodySoda Author:Troy Polamalu
“It may sound strange, but many champions are made champions by setback. They are champions because they've been hurt. Their experience moved them, and they pulled out this fighting spirit, making them what they are. Sometimes in life, God gives us a difficulty in order to bring out the fighting spirit. Everything that happens to you can happen for good if you have this spirit. The essential thing in life is not in the conquering, but in the fight.” IfsGivingMayMadeSometimesHappensLife IsSpiritOrderFightingSportsSoundLeadershipHurtStrangeEssentialsDifficultyMovedConquerChampionThings In LifeFighting SpiritSetbackSometimes In LifeBeen HurtChampions Are Made Author:Bob Richards
