Many argue that young players were forced out of social activities by their mentors, to maintain their focus on the game. However, it wasn’t the case with Williams. Recently, a video of teenage Venus surfaced, giving a slight hint of what she was like when younger. In the clip, she shared how she doesn’t understand what parties stand for by saying, “I never really see what’s at a party. Like, when you go to a party, what do you do? Do you dance? I can dance here. There’s food? I can eat here. At a party, I could never understand what is there to do.”
