Serena Williams has had a legendary tennis career. She has been one of the most dominant forces in women’s tennis during the last two decades. The younger Williams sister has numerous records to be proud of. She has won the number of Grand Slam titles in women’s singles in the Open Era, with 23 major titles to her credit. Additionally, she is the only woman to have recorded more than 65 wins across all four Slams.

The former World Number 1 is a symbol of grit, determination, and a never-say-die attitude. She has overcome all odds to become one of the greatest athletes of all time. Recently, she was involved in a candid conversation with her elder sister Venus, where she had some advice for young women.

Serena Williams advises young women in sports to keep going

The two Williams sisters featured in the March 2022 issue of Harper’s BAZAAR cover story. Further, in the ‘Explains it All’ series, Venus asked Serena, “So what’s your ultimate advice to young women and girls who are trying to break into sports?”

Serena answered, “Keep going. We need girls in sports. It gives you confidence, it gives you discipline, and there comes a time where you might not wanna do it but keep doing it cause it is something that’s super special and you won’t regret it.”

Further, Venus added, “Yeah, and I always tell people, It’s important for all kids, I believe, to be in sports but especially daughters. With the pressure that women and girls have today to look a certain way or whatever, when you really focus on what you’re doing for your body, the confidence that you’re building, it like puts a lot of that stuff in the background. You actually get the lessons in life that you need to get. It talks about knowing yourself. Girls should always play sports.”
