‘Sleep When I’m Dead’ – Venus Williams Shows off Training Tantrums as She Braves Against All Odds to Forge a Comeback

Playing professional sports well past 40 years of age isn’t for everybody. In the sports realm, we have seen only a handful of athletes do it, like Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, and Roger Federer. We can now add Venus Williams to this illustrious list as well. Despite reaching the twilight period of her incredible tennis career, she is focused on her impending comeback. The proof of the same is in her recently posted fun yet intense training video on TikTok.

Despite facing a serious injury in Auckland, New Zealand, the seven-time Grand Slam champion is determined not to give up on her comeback.

Venus Williams mesmerizes her fans with her recent ‘intense’ training session

The 42-year-old American tennis star has always bounced back from her setbacks stronger than ever. Williams is still determined to make a comeback in the tennis world even if she will be celebrating her 43rd birthday in June. In her recent TikTok, Williams pushes herself to the limit during a workout session. She grunts and groans through the intense exercises. The American is also seen doing a series of squats, lunges, and exercises. However, in classic Venus fashion, she somehow twisted every intense exercise into a fun activity.

In a funny clip titled ‘Workout Conversations with Vee’, she claimed, “Sleep is for when I’m dead.”

The phrase has become synonymous with her relentless work ethic. It’s clear that Venus Williams is not one to shy away from hard work, and her dedication to her craft is truly inspiring.

Williams maintains her position at the top of her game by upholding a rigorous training regimen. It encompasses both court practice and gym sessions focused on strength and conditioning exercises.

Williams once shared the details of her training session with a boxer

A documentary was made available to tennis enthusiasts worldwide in 2012. It documented the journey of the Williams sisters in professional tennis. Among other tidbits, viewers of the documentary obtained insights from the sisters’ coaches. In the documentary, Williams discussed her father’s unique training techniques and cited his belief that boxers had the best footwork. Unsurprisingly, that belief led to the incorporation of boxing-inspired footwork drills in her training.

Additionally, Rick Macci, the sisters’ childhood coach, also shared that they even had a professional boxer train with them in a sandpit to motivate them to move quickly. What do you think about Williams’ training regimen? Let us know in your comments below.
