Venus Williams has long established herself as a household figure on the women’s circuit. While amassing seven singles Grand Slam titles and reaching the number-one ranking, the American tennis icon has delivered some mesmerizing performances. However, the 43-year-old player’s prowess extends beyond the spheres of the racket sport, as she recently got inclined towards a disparate game, football.

The 7-time singles Grand Slam champion, who is known for inspiring young athletic talents, recently donned the football coach hat “to help nurture girls’ self-belief and confidence”. Reacting to her new stint in a different sport, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson’s wife, Ciara, recently heaped praise on Williams.

As the latest edition of the Super Bowl is almost underway, the American tennis icon recently participated in Dove’s new initiative, #KEEPHERCONFIDENT. In her latest Instagram stories, Venus Williams opened up about how she came up with a ‘game plan’ as she took on coaching duties for young female athletes. While sharing a video clip from the ground and tagging Russell Wilson’s wife, Ciara, the WTA superstar said, “Coming up with our game plan! We named a play the ‘One-Two Step’ @ciara”

Taking note of her football coaching prowess, the American singer could hold herself back from lauding Willimas. She reshared the post on her Instagram story with the caption, “So cute! I love this! Coach @venuswilliams #GirlPower”. As she took part in this noble initiative, the 7-time singles Grand Slam champion also motivated the young participants, as witnessed by a video clip in which they were getting ‘hyped for the big game.’ Williams also added the captions, “Getting hyped for the big game!” and “Go Team!”
