In 1991, Davenport played in her first professional tennis match when she was 15. She was ranked (排名) the Number 1 woman 1 player in the world eight different times.
I had the chance to 2Davenport at the 2012 US Open. 3 that night, she answered some questions from our group and I asked her, "Ms Davenport, 4 can teach people a lot of lessons. What lessons did you5 during your time as a professional tennis player that you didn't learn6an amateur (业余运动员)?" To be honest, I had a personal reason for asking this question. I played baseball in college, but not7. So I wanted to know what I missed.
Davenport's first8 was to talk about how she had to grow up9. She mentioned the power of the media and learning to live her life in front of a(n)10. But then she changed the11 and talked about improving her skill and the lessons of competition, hard work, and perseverance. Those things, she said, were learned long12 she became a professional. In other words, to learn about what it's like to13 as a professional athlete, you need to be a professional athlete. But to learn the lessons of playing sports, you just need to14 your sport.
Take note: you don't need to be the best in order to be15 or satisfied, but all that matters is that you play the game.
