Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.

But what I'd really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.

When I was a kid I have two dreams. I want to be a baseball player. Hometown Hiroshima has a Japanese baseball franchise team called Hiroshima Carps. You know and then I want to be a sushi chef. I want to make own restaurant - sushi restaurant.

A player dreams of being a superstar but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.

My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player Ted Larsen.

I remember my dad who coached football would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn't afford it.

I recruited my dad to be my bass player and fired him on several occasions. He stayed on as a bus driver.

Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.
