Nancy Clouse Quotations

We always get excited for them because we know they are quality teams.

I had a seventh-grader playing her first singles match today at No. 5, so that was good to see her and see what she could do.

I think they let down when they think they're playing an opponent that's not that strong. They've got to learn that you have to play at a high quality all the time.

What I tell them to do is to work on their shots and not play down. Still play at a very high level and work on things they don't normally get to work on in a tighter match. And just be consistent.

We just needed to get that first win. We needed to build some confidence, and this was a confidence-booster.

I told him he absolutely had to get out there. I told him to put it behind him and go play better tennis, and he did. He hit more quality shots in that little match than he did in his entire singles match.

I want them to be able to play at a high quality all the time, regardless of the strength of the opponent. And we're not there yet.
