Description
The TennisWorthy Podcast is back for Season 2! The International Tennis Hall of Fame and host Chris Bowers bring a new set of enlightening interviews with legends and Hall of Famers for the new year. The podcast dives deep into the mindset of champions and uncovering the unique, special characteristics that define excellence on and off the court. Four-time Grand Slam champion Jim Courier brings candid honesty, as always, to start off the season. With Chris, Jim reflects on his youth, competitiveness, and choice to focus on tennis as a junior in Florida. He gives insight into three legendary guideposts during his tennis career - coaches Harry Hopman, Nick Bollettieri, and Dr. Jim Loehr - and how their differing styles molded him. Jim also touches on his relationships with his Hall of Fame peers Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi, and shares a bit on his immense talents outside of tennis. Jim Courier is a two-time Australian Open champion, two-time Roland-Garros champion, former world number one and two-time Davis Cup winner from the 1990s. A member of a golden generation of American male champions and now a regular media personality on the tennis circuit, he was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2005.
