‘Make a Lot of Sacrifices’ – Serena Williams Harks Back at Emotional Past as She Unveils Her Childhood Tales of Struggle
“Now it’s about finding balance and doing other things I’ve always loved,” Serena Williams said earlier this year while reflecting on the missed opportunities in life due to a prolonged tennis career. The 23-time Grand Slam winner and former world no.1 hanged up the racket in 2022. Since then, she has time and again expressed her longing for moments she couldn’t have because of her profession. Even something as small as a sleepover was hard to come by. She revealed it in a new social media appearance.
Serena Williams took to TikTok to post a video of herself getting ready. She was in New York where she was invited as a guest to speak at the NYT’s annual DealBook summit on December 4. Before her session, Williams thought of getting candid with her fans and shared some crucial anecdotes from her life. Especially the ones related to her career that never really allowed her to enjoy ‘normal’ things. Yes, she achieved a lot professionally. But, she also had to make personal adjustments in order to focus on her career. Such as not having a sleepover. “My girls always say that I am not normal and I didn’t get a normal life. So last night we had a sleepover and I’ve never really had a sleepover,” she began.
