“Champions keep playing until they get it right.”

WHO WAS SHE?

Billie Jean King learned tennis on free public courts and went on to win thirty-nine Grand Slam titles. Off the court she fought for women athletes to be paid the same as men, and won. She always said that champions are not the people who never miss, but the people who keep swinging.
