‘I Have to Schedule It in My Schedule’ – Retired Serena Williams Reveals Difficulties in Mastering an Easy Personality Quirk

Retirement is a big move for any working professional. For sports players, it becomes an even bigger deal as most retire in their mid or late 30s. Serena Williams retired at 41 and remains an active person in other areas. Before retiring, she opened up about her venture capital business, which she named Serena Ventures. Being a parent and a business owner, Serena lives in overdrive, and, according to her, she has no idea how she can relax. Williams runs a business which has amassed $111 million as of March 2022 and aims to empower the marginalized.

Serena Williams is not able to relax!

Williams founded Serena Ventures in 2014 with the aim of providing opportunities for business owners belonging to underserved communities. Being one of the top players and running a large company, along with other ventures, would lead a person to the habit of working constantly. Relaxing becomes a rare occasion, and one tends to forget to kick back.

Serena Williams has ended up in a similar situation. In an interview with Gayle King of CBS Mornings, Serena Williams said she has no idea on how she can relax and that she has to schedule her relaxing time. “I don’t know how to relax, it’s so hard for me to relax,” Serena told Gayle King. “I have to schedule it in my schedule. I’m not kidding.”
