Billie Jean King Quotes

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.

Tennis taught me so many lessons in life. One of the things it taught me is that every ball that comes to me, I have to make a decision. I have to accept responsibility for the consequences every time I hit a ball.

The main thing is to care. Care very hard, even if it is only a game you are playing.

A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning.

No matter how tough, no matter what kind of outside pressure, no matter how many bad breaks along the way, I must keep my sights on the final goal, to win, win, win-and with more love and passion than the world has ever witnessed in any performance.

No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.

Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.

Champions take responsibility. When the ball is coming over the net, you can be sure I want the ball.
