Jordan Thompson’s Casual Chat with Tennis Legend, Serena Williams
Jordan Thompson: Hey Serena! Honestly, I still can’t believe we found a spot in both of our crazy schedules to sit down and chat. How are things going?
Serena Williams: Jordan, it’s great to finally catch up! Things are always a whirlwind, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Keeping busy on and off the court. How about yourself?
Jordan Thompson: Oh, you know, just juggling training, tournaments, and some well-deserved downtime when I can get it. Speaking of which, I’ve seen you’re pretty much doing everything these days—from tennis to business to parenthood. How do you keep it all balanced?
Serena Williams: It’s all about prioritizing and having a fantastic team around you. That’s key. And, let’s be honest, a good cup of coffee doesn’t hurt either, right?
Jordan Thompson: (laughs) Absolutely! Coffee is life. So, with all your different ventures, what keeps you motivated to keep pushing boundaries?
Serena Williams: I think it’s the challenge, really. In tennis, every match offers a new set of obstacles to overcome. It’s the same in business or any other venture. Plus, I want to set an example for my daughter. Show her that you can be anything you want with hard work and passion.
Jordan Thompson: That’s truly inspiring, Serena. Speaking of challenges, I’ve been working on some new strategies for my game. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to any tennis player looking to up their game?
Serena Williams: I’d say focus on the mental aspect just as much as the physical. Tennis is as much a mindsport as it is a physical one. Stay mentally strong, keep your confidence high, and don’t let setbacks discourage you. And always have fun.
Jordan Thompson: So true. The mental game can be a tough nut to crack sometimes. Thanks for the wisdom, Serena. Before we wrap up, I’ve got to ask—what do you love to do when you’re not on the court or handling business?
Serena Williams: Spending time with my family is number one. Also, I absolutely love fashion. It’s a creative outlet for me. And let’s not forget watching some good TV shows. What’s currently on your watchlist?
Jordan Thompson: Definitely enjoying some good dramas and thrillers. It helps wind down after a long day. Alright, Serena, thank you so much for the chat. It’s been awesome catching up. Let’s do this more often!
Serena Williams: Absolutely, Jordan! Keep pushing, and I’ll be cheering for you on the court. Take care!
