She knew that if she talked about her injury it could negatively impact the way she competed herself and could give her opponent an edge. Tennis, business, and life, in general, is so much about staying positive and focused on a goal. Venus is great role model for all of us. Venus handled herself so well, it amazed me.

Composure is icing on the cake. We all have these qualities, and seeing it displayed at the highest professional levels is a nice reminder of how we can employ these skills on a daily basis. Good topic. Mind over matter is an amazing phenomenon. Composure is icing on the cake.

Being a tennis player myself and having played tournaments at the professional level, I really appreciate the way Venus handled her injury. Kudos to her! Also have realized over the years that a lot of other things learnt from the game can be applied to life as well. An example is when advised to play each point as if it were the last, giving it our full concentration. How many times are we advised to live each moment of our life to the fullest, aren't we? Love the game! Love your post! :) I keep reading your blogs but this post really prompted me to reply.
