"Pressure is a Privilege" - Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King has inspired many over the years, but her text message to Maria Sharapova the morning of the 2008 Australian Open final seem wise words worth remembering... "Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege." Billie Jean has recently written a new book of the same name, i.e. "Pressure is a Privilege." The book recounts some of Billie Jean's life as a tennis player including her famous "Battle of the Sexes"
match against Bobby Riggs. However, the book is really an inspirational tome for athletes and non-athletes alike and well worth the quick read. The lessons that Billie Jean has learned and the ways she has dealt with the challenges in her life should be helpful for everyone. Billie Jean’s advice is often very simple. However, sometimes the most practical advice is the most useful, especially in dealing with difficult, pressure-filled situations. Everyone faces stress in their lives and the challenge is finding effective ways to deal with it.
