Evonne Goolagong Cawley grew up in Barellan. Being from an Aboriginal (Wiradjuri) family, she and her family knew little about tennis. But she watched people playing and grew interested in the sport.

One day, she was peering through the fence of a tennis court, watching, when someone invited her to play. She was a natural talent.

Once she had picked up the sport, a pattern emerged. Every day, when she would head off to play a game, her Mum would say, “Well, have a lovely day, honey.”

When she got home, her Mum would ask, “Well, did you have a great day?” Not once did her Mum ask her whether she’d won or how she’d played.

Soon, Evonne developed a practice of never really thinking about the outcome when she was playing. Instead, she played with the perspective that she would have a great day.

She went on to have a fantastic professional career which saw her win Wimbledon, the Australian Open, and the French Open.
