In the recent Q&A, a fan asked how she stayed aggressive even when she is losing. She said, “So under pressure, what should you do? Hold back? Let someone else take the win?” She added enthusiastically, “Let me tell you if you’re gonna go down, go down hard! Go down swinging, go down in flames, go down screaming, fighting, biting.”
Then Williams went on to reveal the affirmations that she believes. She said, “So, when the pressure comes, tell yourself, this is exactly where I wanna be when you’re serving and you got that game point, you say this is actually what I wanted. When you’re down breakpoint, you say I love the challenge. I enjoy the battle, bring it!”
Venus Williams has had a glorious career spanning almost 3 decades. And her love for the sport is what is keeping her away from retirement for the time being. So, she stated, “Cuz the game is fun, and it is about playing the game. Gotta enjoy that. So stay aggressive.
