Quotes

  • Christian Cokerhas quoted7 years ago
    As Arsène Wenger, one of the most successful soccer club managers of recent times, puts it: “To perform to your maximum you have to teach yourself to believe with an intensity that goes way beyond logical justification. No top performer has lacked this capacity for irrational optimism; no sportsman has played to his potential without the ability to remove doubt from his mind.”

    youngsters train with devotion; they undertake physical training as if it is a privilege, not a chore; they eat food like it is fuel
  • Christian Cokerhas quoted7 years ago
    This is Bollettieri’s published creed, which must be signed by all residents: “Every endeavour pursued with passion produces a successful outcome regardless of the result. For it is not about winning or losing—rather, the effort put forth in producing the outcome. The best way to predict the future is to create it—therefore, we believe we have the best training methods to help each athlete achieve their dreams and goals and ultimately reach their ability level in the arena of sports and life.”
