Serena Williams’ podcast feature with her fans

The American tennis icon loves to converse with her fans as she recently did just that on a podcast. She was asked about why people are sometimes bothered about self-belief and confidence.

Williams answered by stating, “People are afraid when you can do something and they’ll tell you that you can’t and they take confidence for something else. And when someone tells you that you can’t do something that’s really them saying that you can’t do it, they can’t do it. And so in other words, they’re putting the energy in saying that you can’t do it and no, no, actually, you can’t.”
