Serena Williams on raising Olympia

The 23-time Grand Slam champion might be one of the greatest players of all time but being a mother is still one of her biggest challenges. No matter how many opponents she saw on the court, she always knew what to do and how to go about it. However, motherhood does not seem to be working like that. In a recent podcast, she talked about Olympia and raising her. She said, “You’re never right as a mom, you are always second-guessing yourself, and you are like I don’t know if this is right.”

Williams said, “But I think the most important thing is teaching her about God, teaching about the Bible, that’s so important to me.” Both the Williams were always taught and raised by Bible, and that is what they aspire to pass down too.
