Interestingly, Serena and her husband Alexis Ohanian also operate a Twitter account for Olympia. They post her daily antics and news on the handle. The family’s social media handles give us a glimpse into their personal lives.
Just the other day, Alexis Ohanian, tweeted about Olympia and the way the couple are aiming to shape her mindset early. C0-founder and executive chairman of Reddit, Alexis said that the phrase “I can’t” is prohibited in the Ohanian-Williams household.
Not long after @OlympiaOhanian started talking, I banned the phrase "I can't" in our household. Now it's cute to hear her try to come up with other ways to say why she can't do something – or if it's actually admitting defeat, shift her mindset.

Undoubtedly, Olympia is going to be an amazing personality when she grows up. Evidently, Olympia not being allowed to say the word “I can’t” emulates her mother’s never-back-down attitude.
Much like her mother, Olympia, too, would surely be a hard worker in whatever field she chooses to follow. The world can only wonder what would have happened to women’s tennis if Serena or her sister Venus Williams had ever said “I can’t” or stopped believing in themselves.
