was young, I never wanted to leave the court until I
got things exactly correct. My dream was to become a

I know
you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's
true -- hard work pays off. If you want to be good,
you have to practice, practice, practice. If you
don't love something, then don't do it.
-- Ray Bradbury

learning to hit the same old boring winning shots.
