How will that drive serve her off the court in her post-tennis career? For inspiration, Venus turned to an esteemed group of business leaders, politicians, and acclaimed artists, all of whom previously played competitive sports, and asked the essential questions: What principles that inspired you toward success as an athlete are helpful in life? In business? </p><p>Here, that A-list group of visionaries responds with a useful array of tips woven through anecdotes from their athletic pasts that have been instrumental in their post-sports success. Venus also reflects on what she has learned from her own coaches, including her parents, and how their wisdom contributes to her own remarkable achievements.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Containing gems of biographical information not available elsewhere, this presents inspirational readings on how sports can make a significant difference and teach 'life lessons.'"--<em>Library Journal</em><br><br>"Contributors offer advice on how to learn from losses, block out distractions, and visualize a course of action.
