Jennifer Capriati
 One Of Life's
True Winners
|
Jennifer Capriati is a young woman for whom I have an immense amount of time and respect.
She was a child prodigy who went off the rails to such an extent that she'd effectively dived over the edge of the cliff and hit the rocks below hard, her life, never mind her tennis career, in tatters.
That she gathered herself together, climbed that cliff and got back on the rails to fully realise her potential was one of the truly outstanding stories of the first decade of 21st century life - not just sport.
As well, what she did offers huge incentive to all those who have fallen on hard times - if she can do it, they can too!
"JCap"went on to reach the pinnacle - number one in the world, and a small cluster of Grand Slam titles to her name as well.
I will always remember "JCap" at her peak - a young woman who did not know when she was beaten. She had that insatiable desire to win, which every true champion needs, in abundance.
She's spunky, sexy, an outstanding tennis player, and someone I really enjoyed seeing in action, 'cause after what she had been through in her life, you could always count on her giving everything she had for the cause.
