Martina Navratilova : (4) " So many athletes are afraid to use their platform to do the right thing and speak what they feel, and that’s very depressing. Sure, they are afraid of insulting people and losing money because of it, and everyone wants to make the maximum amount of money in their lifetime. But at the expense of who you are? I don’t know. That just wasn’t in my DNA. " - Martina Navratilova " You can’t live in the past, there’s nothing you can do about it. " - Martina Navratilova " If a man can coach a female, why can’t a female coach a male? When I was looking for a coach, the gender of the coach never occurred to me. It was about who I thought was good and who I could get along with and listen to. " - Martina Navratilova " I’ve been active in animal rights and all kinds of environmental stuff and children’s charities over the years. " - Martina Navratilova
