Don’t Dream Big

Eric Butorac shares wisdom culled from the courts
Don’t Dream Big
By Universal TennisPublished
Doubles specialist Eric Butorac, who retired last year from the ATP tour, recently gave a TED talk at Binghamton University titled, “Don’t Dream Big.” Butorac served on the ATP Player Council for eight years, the last two as its president. He is now Director of Professional Tennis Operations and Player Relations at the USTA. Eric has contributed many blogs to the UTR website. His 12+-minute TED talk frames his professional tennis career as a vehicle to argue for focusing on small, achievable dreams instead of big ones.
