About this Quote

This quote by Tracy Austin speaks with the significance of momentum in sports. Winning the first game of the second set is a chance to build on a lead or to rebound if you are behind. It is a possibility to reset the video game and to gain an advantage. Austin's mom was wise to acknowledge the importance of this moment and to emphasize it to her child. It is a tip that even if you lag, you can still turn the game around. It is a pointer that you must never ever quit which you should constantly aim to make the most of every chance. It is a suggestion that with hard work and decision, anything is possible.
